Synthesis of the Doctrine of Race (Italian: Sintesi di Dottrina della Razza) is a work by Italian esoteric writer Julius Evola, published in 1941 by Hoepli. It provides an overview of Evola's ideas concerning race and eugenics, introducing the concept of spiritual racism.

According to scholar Francesco Cassata, Evola is the best known advocate for what he calls "esoteric-traditionalist racism". Benito Mussolini read the book in August 1941 and invited Evola to a meeting in order to talk about it. Evola later recounted that Mussolini had found in his work a uniquely Roman form of fascist racism distinct from that found in Nazi Germany. Mussolini would later help Evola to publish a journal, Sangue e Spirito (Blood and Spirit).
