A biblical canon or canon of scripture na set of texts (or "books") wey one particular religious community dey see as authoritative scripture. Di English word "canon" come from di Greek κανών, wey mean "rule" or "measuring stick". Christians na di first people wey begin use di term for reference to scripture, but Eugene Ulrich believe say di idea na Jewish.

Most of di canons wey dey listed below dey consider "closed" (i.e., books no fit add or remove), wey show say dem believe say public revelation don end and so some person or persons fit gather approved inspired texts into one complete and authoritative canon, wey scholar Bruce Metzger define as "an authoritative collection of books". In contrast, one "open canon", wey allow addition of books through di process of continuous revelation, Metzger define as "a collection of authoritative books".

These canons don develop through debate (canonology) and agreement from di religious authorities of their respective faiths and denominations. Believers dey see canonical books as inspired by God or as expressive of di authoritative history of di relationship between God and im people. Some books like di Jewish-Christian gospels, don dey exclude from different canons altogether, but many disputed books—wey some people see as non-canonical or even apocryphal—are see as Biblical apocrypha or Deuterocanonical or fully canonical by others. Differences dey between di Jewish Tanakh and Christian biblical canons, even though di Jewish Tanakh na di basis for di Christian Old Testament, and between di canons of different Christian denominations. Di different criteria and processes of canonization dey determine wetin di various communities see as inspired scripture. For some cases where different levels of scriptural inspiration don accumulate, e dey make sense to discuss texts wey only get one elevated status within one particular tradition. E dey even more complex when we dey consider di open canons of di different Latter Day Saint sects—which some people fit see as extensions of Christianity (and so of Judaism)—and di scriptural revelations wey supposedly give to several leaders over di years within that movement.
