Wog might refer to:
- A racial slur for non-white people, a diminutive form of the racist children's character 'golliwog', primarily used in Britain (Oxford English Dictionary, definition 1.a.)
- A term used by Scientologists to refer to non-Scientologists. Some "wogs" may also be deemed "suppressive persons". The term is very likely derived from the previous usage due to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's time in England.[1] However, he claimed in the Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary that it stood for "worthy Oriental gentleman".[2]
