Delusional intuition is a term applicable in psychiatry that refers to a thought or belief that when expressed either in society, or as usually in a clinical setting, is apparent as being blatantly impossible or unlikely in that the semantic relations of subjects within the speech content have no basis in reality, i.e. that is of a thought that is delusional. This type of delusion in the context of the intuitive is rather an experience of faux intuition, the person experiences something that resembles the intuitive, but instead the experience is qualified as delusional. This delusion is also described as Autochthonous.

A phenomenological understanding is of an occurrence that is very much like the expression of the spontaneous occurrence of an inspirational idea, sprung from the soil, translated into a delusionary vehicle with the conviction of "immediate enlightenment" (Leon et al 1989) that occurs as a delire d'embléé id est complete in the actual instance. The delusion as defined autochthonous in this context is known as primary (Jaspers 1963).
