कीर्तन 'जय जगन्नाथ शचीसुत' गौड़ीय वैष्णव परंपरा का एक मूलभूत और अत्यंत प्रिय भक्ति गीत है, जिसकी उत्पत्ति 15वीं और 16वीं शताब्दी में बंगाल, भारत में हुई थी। यह विशेष रचना पुरी, ओडिशा के भगवान जगन्नाथ और श्री चैतन्य महाप्रभु की महिमा करती है, जिन्हें राधा और कृष्ण के संयुक्त अवतार तथा शची देवी के पुत्र (इसलिए 'शचीसुत') के रूप में पूजा जाता है। यह कीर्तन चैतन्य महाप्रभु के अन्य प्रमुख सहयोगियों, जैसे नित्यानंद प्रभु, अद्वैत आचार्य, गदाधर पंडित, और श्रीनिवास आचार्य तथा हरिदास ठाकुर जैसे महान भक्तों को भी श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित करता है। इसके सरल लेकिन गहन बोल गौड़ीय वैष्णव धर्म के मूल सिद्धांतों को समाहित करते हैं: कृष्ण के प्रति भक्ति (जगन्नाथ और चैतन्य के रूप में) और सामूहिक संकीर्तन की शक्ति।
