In religion, folklore, and mythology a demon is a supernatural being that has generally been described as a malevolent spirit. A demon is frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled. The "good" demon in recent use is largely a literary device (e.g., Maxwell's demon). In common language, to "demonize" a person means to cast aspersions on them.

Most scholars acknowledge that Judeo-Christianity owes a great debt to Zoroastrianism in regards to the introduction of angelology and demonology, as well as Satan (Ahriman) as the ultimate agent of evil. As the Iranian Avestan and Vedic traditions as well as other branches of Indo-European mythologies show, the notion of 'demons' has existed for many centuries.

Ancient Egyptians also believed in demonic monsters that might devour human souls while they traveled towards the afterlife, although demons per se did not exist in Ancient Egyptian belief.
