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 freedom for a geographical region (as opposed to personal autonomy). What is and is not considered to be an autonomy and secessionist movement is, of course, contentious. For defunct movements and groups, please see: List of historical autonomist and secessionist movements
