Astral body may also refer to:

  • Body of light, a concept in Western esotericism, once synonymous with 'astral body'
  • Illusory body, a concept in Vajrayana Buddhism, equivalent to 'astral body'
  • Subtle body, a concept in Eastern esotericism, which includes the 'sheathe' later dubbed 'astral body' by Theosophy
