List of active separatist movements in North America

This is a list of currently active separatist movements in North America and Europe. Separatism includes autonomism and secessionism. What is and is not considered an autonomist or secessionist movement is sometimes contentious. Entries on this list must meet three criteria:

They are active movements with living, active members.
They are seeking greater autonomy or self-determination for a geographic region (as opposed to personal autonomy).

De facto state: for regions with de facto autonomy from the government
Proposed state: proposed name for a seceding sovereign state
Proposed autonomous area: for movements toward greater autonomy for an area but not outright secession
- De facto autonomous government: for governments with de facto autonomous control over a region
- Government-in-exile: for a government based outside of the region in question, with or without control
- Political party (or parties): for political parties involved in a political system to push for autonomy or secession
- Militant organisation(s): for armed organisations (sometimes called terrorist organisations)
