Abstract: We prove general reflection positivity results for both scalar fields and Dirac fields on a Riemannian manifold, and comment on applications to quantum field theory. As another application, we prove the inequality $C_{D}leq{C}_N$ between Dirichlet and Neumann covariance operators on a manifold with a reflection.
