Several national governments and two international bodies have created lists of organizations that they designate as terrorist. The following list of designated terrorist groups is composed of groups on whom a "terrorist" designation had been officially issued, whether by current or former national governments, or inter-governmental organizations.

Many organizations that have been designated as terrorist have denied using terrorism as a military tactic to achieve their goals, and there is no international consensus on the legal definition of terrorism.

This listing does not include unaffiliated individuals accused of terrorism, which is considered lone wolf terrorism. This list also excludes groups who might be widely considered terrorist but were not officially designated as such.
