Banned books are books to which free access is not permitted. The practice of banning books is a form of censorship, from political, religious, moral, or (less often) commercial motives. This page intends to list alphabetically all known banned books, giving a brief context for each.

Such a large number of banned books has led publishers becoming specialized in them. The best-known examples are the Parisian Obelisk Press, which published Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer, and Olympia Press, which published William Burroughs's Naked Lunch. Both of these, the work of father Jack Kahane and son Maurice Girodias, specialized in English-language books which were prohibited, at the time, in Great Britain and the United States. Ruedo Ibérico, also located in Paris, specialized in books prohibited in Spain during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Russian literature prohibited during the Soviet period was published outside of Russia.

Books are still banned today. Nowhere can everything be published, although the prohibitions vary strikingly from one country to another: hate speech, for example, is prohibited in several countries, such as Sweden, though legal in the United States, where the only prohibition is on child pornography. Some believe that the banning of specific books is appropriate, such as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, in Russia, or Hitler's Mein Kampf, in Austria.

At the local level, books have been and still are banned by schools and public libraries. This is usually the result of complaints from parents, who find particular books not appropriate for their children. In many libraries, including the British Library and the Library of Congress, erotic books are housed in separate collections which require special application.^[1] Libraries sometimes avoid purchasing controversial books, and the personal opinions of librarians have at times impacted book selection.
