Rayleigh test can refer to:

• a test for periodicity in irregularly sampled data,
• a derivation of the above to test for non-uniformity (as unimodal clustering) of a set of points on a circle (e.g. compass directions), sometimes known as the Rayleigh z test.

• Circular distribution
• Directional statistics
• Kuiper's test
• Rayleigh distribution
• Watson test
• Rayleigh plot

• A test for the significance of the mean direction and the concentration parameter of a circular distribution.
