SRY基因（sex-determining region of Y-chromosome，全稱：Y染色體性別決定區），又名睪丸決定因子，（英語：Testis-determining factor，簡稱TDF）是人體Y染色體上的一段基因片段，該基因是決定男性睪丸發育的主要基因。存在於Y染色體的短臂末端上。

該基因由Sinclair在1990年發現。

有些人宣稱，SRY基因就是唯一一個性別決定基因，因此可以通過尋找該基因片段，達到判斷測試者的性別的目的，若樣本中存在該基因表示受試者是男性，否則為女性。然而一篇有一千六百餘名科學家簽名的聲明（包括700 名生物學者、100名遺傳學者、9名諾貝爾獎得主）指出：目前不存在任何方式可以準確地判斷生理性別，且即使有辦法判斷，也不應該因此限制人們追求不同的自我認同。

功能

簡單來說，在懷孕期間，分佈於生殖皺褶上的原基性腺的雙功能細胞同時具備分化成男性腺細胞或者女性腺細胞的能力。而睪丸決定因子就會啟動男性專用的轉錄因子，令這些細胞開始分裂，並分化成為睪丸。 TDF會上調表達SOX9這個具有同TDF相近的DNA結合位的轉錄因子。SOX9會上調成纖維細胞生長因子9，而成纖維細胞生長因子9反過來上調SOX9。這樣，SOX9最終上升到合適的濃度，於是性腺上的雙功能細胞就會開始分化成塞爾托利氏細胞。另外，有表達TDF的細胞持續生長去形成原基睪丸。
