Le projet MK-Ultra, dévoilé en 1975, est le nom de code d'un projet secret illégal de la CIA des années 1950 à 1970 visant à développer les techniques de manipulation mentale. Il semble que ce projet ait connu plusieurs évolutions et ait vu le développement de sous-projets et des projets parallèles.
