The Scale of Perfection is a religious book written by Walter Hilton, English mystic from fourteenth century and it presents his major work. The first book of The Scale of Perfection is addressed to a woman recently enclosed as an anchoress, offering her appropriate spiritual exercises.

The second book, which addresses itself to Hilton's former reader, who he says has further questions, seems from its style and content rather to address a larger, perhaps more sophisticated audience. Its main theme is reformation of the soul, in faith alone and in both faith and feeling. The latter is presented in an extended metaphor as a spiritual journey to Jerusalem
