Soulforce may mean:
- Soulforce is a social justice and civil rights organization based in the United States that resists the religious and political oppression of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people through dialogue and creative forms of nonviolent direct action. Soulforce is based on the principles of relentless nonviolent resistance as taught and practiced by Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.
- the English translation of the philosophy of non-violent resistance, Satyagraha[citation needed]. In Sanskrit, "satya" means, "truth" and "graha" means, "holding firmly."
