Allegiance為英語名詞，音標英[əˈliːdʒəns]/美[əˈliːdʒəns]，指對政黨、宗教或統治者的忠誠與效忠，複數形式為allegiances，常見於政治、法律及社會組織語境。其核心內涵包含精神認同與行為實踐的雙重義務關係，典型表達如“效忠誓詞”（Pledge of Allegiance）和“效忠委員會”（Allegiance Council），並衍生出經濟忠誠、臨時效忠等跨領域概念，文化作品中亦可見“動物聯盟”（Animal Allegiance）等固定搭配。
該詞源自古法語“ligeance”，14世紀引入英語後，語義從封建臣道擴展至現代公民對國家象徵的集體承諾。例如美國法定宣誓儀式《效忠誓詞》、政黨歸屬聲明等，均體現其套用場景的演變。商業領域亦存在以“忠誠”為符號的機構命名實例（如忠誠礦業公司）。
