道教詩是反映道教生活、現神仙理想或助道教神仙意來抒寫超凡脫俗情感的詩歌作品。
道教詩端甚早：在東漢的《太平經》中，便可略見端倪。該書三十八載有一篇九十三字的《師策文》，已註意用韻，似為七言詩的雛形。與《太平經》同時代的《周易參同契》多用四言、五言及騷賦裁。《參同契》的文雖然不純，但運用詩歌形式以論煉丹的特點卻也是顯而易見的。東漢以降，道教組織逐步壯大，道教詩也隨之增加和日趨成熟。魏晉南北朝間，不僅在道門中秘傳著煉丹詩、咒語詩，而且在社會上流行著遊仙詩。
煉丹詩是以煉丹為內容的詩歌作品：從形式上看，煉丹有外丹、內丹之分，故而煉丹詩的內容也有內丹、外丹之，或主內丹、或主外丹，或內外兼而有之。如《太清金液神丹經》上所載的一篇504字歌謠，以七言一句的形式，運用象徵的文學手法，暗示煉丹原理和作用。其意象的運用頗為隱晦，但其比喻與象徵手法則又增加作品的生動性。
在煉丹詩秘傳之際，道門中人還註意創作咒語詩。咒語本是一種祝告之辭。相傳黃帝時已有咒語傳世。道教産生之際，咒語成為道士們召神驅鬼、治病求道的一種形式。到魏晉時期，咒語更加展起來。咒語有散文和詩兩，但以詩居多。較著名者有《真文咒》、《三皇咒》、《洞淵神咒》等。咒語詩不僅註意模擬自然聲響與節奏，而且現出明顯的愛憎情緒；同時咒語詩也註意典故的應用與氣氛的渲染，甚至還有一定的場描繪。
除煉丹詩、咒語詩外，魏晉南北朝的遊仙詩在社會上也有較大的影響。遊仙詩是一種歌詠神仙漫遊之詩篇，它的淵源可以追溯到戰國時代的《楚辭》，如屈原的《遠遊》，也不乏仙人漫遊的描繪，頗多浪漫色彩。在道風盛行的背景下，遊仙詩遂應運而生。其裁多為五言，句數不等。梁蕭統《文選》首列遊仙詩為文學裁之一。從作者身份來看，遊仙詩可分為道人遊仙詩和文人遊仙詩。道人遊仙詩與文人的遊仙詩都現出「衝舉飛升，遨遊八極」的浪漫色彩和奇幻的想象力。不同點是：道人的遊仙詩往往是崇道思想與神遊境界的結。
唐宋以來，反映道教生活和追求成仙的詩歌日益繁榮起來。一方面是道人們熱心於詩歌創作，如著名道士呂洞賓、施肩吾等結山水名勝的描寫，現自己對道教宗旨的見解和神仙信念，通過修道方法的描述，以昭示道教教義的深奧哲理。另一方面，許多文人在受到道風濡染或者觀察驗道教生活之，也創作一些此類題材的詩歌作品。從隋末唐初的詩人王績到盛唐詩人孟浩然、李白，從北宋西昆派代楊億、張詠到南宋詩人楊萬，都有吟詠道事、遊仙暢玄的詩作行世。在這些詩人中，有的思想旨趣基本上與道教的神仙理想拍，有的雖然並不那麽虔誠相信道教，但在他們的創作中又往往現出追求道教神仙的意境。
道教詩因其內容獨特，現手法多彩多姿，在中國文學史上具有不可磨滅的貢獻。
