For an alternative list of new religious movements see List of religions: New religious movements.

This List of new religious movements (NRMs) lists groups that identify themselves as religious, ethical or spiritual organizations, which are not recognized as standard denominations, churches, or religious bodies.

New religious movements are studied in the context of psychology of religion because of their potential and the window they give into how religions form and evolve. New religion movements may become mainstream, grow and decay without ever becoming mainstream, or self-destruct.

The definitions of "new" vary greatly. Some authors such as Eileen Barker and David V. Barret, see as new movements those originating or appearing in a new context after World War II, others define as "new" movements originating after the Bahá'í Faith (mid 19th century) or even everything originating after Sikhism (17th century).

Notes:

  • Groups that appeared before the end of WWII will be marked as such;
  • Some movements are listed by the name of their founder, because the public identifies the founder with the movement, or because the movement has yet to be named, or because the name is unknown;
  • Known defunct new religious movements are designated as such.
