花生過敏(Peanut allergy)是對花生食物過敏,和樹堅果過敏不同。身體的過敏症狀包括蕁麻疹血管性水腫皮膚炎、流鼻涕、哮喘、腹痛、低血壓、腹瀉,也可能會心搏停止[1]。可能會出現過敏性休克的症狀[1]

花生過敏是因為免疫系統產生的即發性過敏反應所造成[2]。花生過敏「因為其發生率、持續性以及過敏反應的潛在嚴重性,屬於嚴重的食物過敏。」[1]

預防可以在孕婦及嬰兒的飲食中,提早加入少量的花生來進行[3][4],建議花生過敏風險高的嬰兒最早可以在4個月時,在可以接受醫療照顧的地方接觸花生食品[5]。針對過敏型反應的典型治療方式是注射腎上腺素[2]

在對花生過敏的人之中,部分人只是對花生有輕度過敏反應,但是,花生也會令一些人出現過敏性休克。美國有千分之六的人對花生過敏[6],這也是常見和食物有關的致命過敏反應及接近致命過敏反應[7]在英國,每200個人當中有大約一人對花生敏感。在英國,每年大約有10個人因為對花生的過敏反應死亡[來源請求]。除巴西外,尚未有國家強制要求食品標示其中含有的微量過敏原[8]
