Map of diplomatic missions of Libya

This is a list of diplomatic missions of Libya.

Under the rule of Muammar al-Gaddafi, Libya broke practice with almost all other countries in 1979 by renaming their embassies "People's Bureaus", with the diplomatic staff known as a local "revolutionary committee".

Libyan people's bureau were involved in a shooting incident in London in 1984, and believed to be involved in the La Belle nightclub bombing in West Berlin in 1986.[citation needed] Earlier in 1981, the U.S. government closed the Libyan people's bureau in Washington, D.C. and expelled the Libyan staff in response to conduct that generally violated internationally accepted standards of diplomatic behavior.[citation needed] After making amends to the British government and avowing state sponsorship of terrorism Libya reopened its missions in London in 1999, and Washington, D.C. in 2006.[citation needed] Aside from its reapproachment with the West, Libya has also been pursuing deeper ties with African states.[citation needed]

As a result of the 2011 Libyan civil war, there are now two governments claiming to be the de jure government of Libya. One government is led by Muammar al-Gaddafi and the other is the National Transitional Council. Some countries have recognised the NTC as the governing authority of Libya and Libyan ambassadors to those countries are nominated by the NTC. The list below includes all Libyan diplomatic missions, i.e. those representing the government of Muammar al-Gaddafi and those representing the NTC. A number of embassies and diplomatic offices in other countries have declared allegiance to the council unilaterally, but it is unclear whether they are in communication with it.

In this list the term "embassy" is used for all embassy-level missions. Diplomatic missions controlled by or loyal to the government of Muammar al-Gaddafi are known as "People's Bureaus".
