Solus Christus, sometimes referred to as Solo Christo, is one of the five solas propounded to summarise the Reformers' basic beliefs during the Protestant Reformation; it is a Latin term referring to salvation through Christ alone. The emphasis was in contradistinction to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church of the day.

The five solas

• Sola fide ("by faith alone")
• Sola scriptura ("by Scripture alone")
• Solus Christus ("Christ alone"; sometimes Solo Christo, "by Christ alone")
• Sola gratia ("by grace alone")
• Soli Deo gloria ("Glory to God alone")
