This is a list of currently active autonomist and secessionist movements around the world.

Entries on this list meet two criteria: they are active movements with living, active members, and they are seeking greater autonomy or self-determination for a geographic region (as opposed to personal autonomy). What is and is not considered an autonomy or secession movement is, of course, contentious.

Under each region listed is one or more of the following:

• Proposed state (proposed name for the seceding state)
• De facto state (for regions with de facto autonomy from the government; also replaces proposed state unless both are of different names, such as Taiwan)
• Proposed autonomous region (for movements toward greater autonomy but not outright secession; can be used alongside the above fields for the same region)
• Government-in-exile (if a government with or without control is based outside of the region in question)
• Political party/ies (for organizations involved in a political system to push for autonomy or secession)
• Rebel organization(s) (for armed organizations; may also be used for political parties that have taken up arms, such as Hamas)
• Pressure group(s) (for non-belligerent non-politically participatory entities)
