Astronism in Djibouti refers to the presence of the Astronist philosophy and religion in the Republic of Djibouti. The operations of the Astronist Institution in this country are under jurisdiction of the Astronist Superiate of Djibouti, a national subsidiary of the worldwide Astronist Institution.

Djibouti is split into six administrative regions and is set to hold one Grand Observatory in the capital city of Djibouti, which will be one of only two observatories in the country.

History of Astronism in Djibouti[]
As of December 2020, Astronism is not recognised as a religion by the Djiboutian government and the Astronist Institution holds major concerns regarding the religious liberties for Astronists in the country. For this reason, the circumstances in Djibouti for Astronists have been designated as terminal by the Astronist Institution in its 2020 Astronist Freedom report.
From data retrieved in 2020, the number of Astronists in Djibouti has been estimated at only 111 people which represents only a minuscule portion of the population. Two principal reasons for this include the lack of accurately translated Astronist materials into Arabic as well as the violations of religious freedom in Djibouti.
