Vocations Sunday or the World Day of Prayer for Vocations is a Sunday set aside each year by various Christian denominations as a day for prayer and reflection in relation to the call to ministry and Christian service.

The Church of England describes Vocations Sunday as "the day for churches to encourage everyone to reflect, discover and recognise God's call to them". In the Roman Catholic Church, Vocations Sunday coincides with Good Shepherd Sunday, which is the fourth Sunday in the Easter Season. The first World Day of Prayer for Vocations was instituted by Pope Paul VI in 1963 during the Second Vatican Council.
