劫波（梵文：कल्प，kalpa）可以指：

• 劫 (时间)，佛教、印度教中指一段极长的时间，一劫过后宇宙毁灭并重新开始
• 仪轨经，一类婆罗门教-印度教典籍的统称，音译「劫波」

Vedic and Puranic texts describe units of Kala measurements, from Paramaṇu (about 17 microseconds) to Maha-Manvantara (311.04 trillion years). According to these texts, the creation and destruction of the universe is a cyclic process, which repeats itself forever. Each cycle starts with the birth and expansion (lifetime) of the universe equaling 311.04 trillion years, followed by its complete annihilation (which also prevails for the same duration). The current Universe is, according to Hindu scripture, in the 51st year of Brahma, which suggests that it was created about 155.5 trillion years ago. This figure does not match the modern estimated age of the universe of ≈ 13.79 billion years.
