The Bārhaspatya-sūtras (a patronymic of Brhaspati), also Lokāyata ("materialistic", "atheistic" sutras of Cārvāka (dated to the final centuries BC) are the foundational text of the Carvaka shool of "materialist" (nastika) philosophy.

The text has been lost, and is known only from fragmentary quotations. Dakshinaranjan Shastri has collected 54 such sutras.
