Puritan exorcism was the use of exorcism by Puritan ministers. The demonology of Puritans was not unusual within the Early Modern demonology of Protestants, but the use of ritual and prayer in exorcism was more distinctive. The Church of England did not recognise the ritual of exorcism, while the Roman Catholic Church commonly did so. Some radical Puritan ministers performed exorcisms; but some leading Puritan writers, such as William Perkins, opposed the ritual, while accepting the underlying theories, for example about witchcraft.

Some radical Puritan ministers performed exorcisms; but some leading Puritan writers, such as William Perkins, opposed the ritual, while accepting the underlying theories, for example about witchcraft. The term Protestant dispossession is also used, which allows for the differences from Catholic practice. There are a number of well-documented cases. John Darrell had a career as an exorcist spanning about 15 years; others were Robert Balsom, John Foxe, Edward Nyndge, and Richard Rothwell. (en)
