This is a list of designated terrorist organizations by national governments, former governments and inter-governmental organizations, where the proscription has a significant impact on the group's activities. Many organizations that are accused of being a terrorist organization deny using terrorism as a military tactic to achieve their goals, and there is no international consensus on the legal definition of terrorism.
This listing does not include states or governmental organizations, which are considered under state terrorism, or unaffiliated individuals accused of terrorism, which are considered under lone wolf terrorism. This list also excludes groups that might be widely considered terrorist, but who are not officially so designated according to the criteria specified above.

Australia
Since 2002, the Australian Government maintains a Listing of terrorist organisations as per the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2002.[3] Listing, de-listing and re-listing follows a protocol[3] that mainly involves the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the Attorney-General's Department[19].
Canada
Since December 18 2001, article 83.05 of the Canadian Criminal Code allows the Governor in Council to maintain a list of entities that are engaged in terrorism, facilitating it, or acting on behalf of such an entity.[20]
Entities are reviewed by the Minister and the Chief Justice of the Federal Court, and finally published in the Canada Gazette.[20] The list is also published on the website of Public Safety Canada at http://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/prg/ns/le/cle-eng.aspx for reference.[21]
