I buddhismen henviser udtrykket anattā (Pali) eller anātman (sanskrit) til læren om "ikke-selv", at der ikke er noget uforanderligt, permanent selv, sjæl eller essens i fænomener.^[1][2] Det er en af de syv gavnlige opfattelser i buddhismen, ^[3] og et af de tre eksistensmærker sammen med dukkha (utilfredsstillelse) og anicca (midlertidighed). ^[4]

Det buddhistiske begreb anatta eller anatman er en af de grundlæggende forskelle mellem buddhisme og hinduisme, idet sidstnævnte hævder, at atman (selv, sjæl) eksisterer. ^{[5] [6]}
