Neo-fascism and paganism refers to a contemporary loose network of neo-fascist and neo-nazi groups built around some form of paganism. Most pagans do not adopt this form.

Among the terms used are Nazi satanism, fascist satanism, and Nazi paganism. Sometimes these groups self-identifying as Traditional Satanism (where "Traditional" is used in the sense of extreme anti-modern "Radical Traditionalism") consisting of small groups in Britain, France and New Zealand, under names such as Black Order or Infernal Alliance, drawing their inspiration of the Esoteric Hitlerism of Miguel Serrano. These organisations scorn what they term "liberal Satanism", the mainstream US Satanism advocating extreme individualism as represented by the Church of Satan or the Temple of Set as a shameless apology for capitalism, Uww, founder of black metal fanzine Deo Occidi denouned Anton LaVey as a "moderate Jew" (intended as a term of depreciation), embracing the "esoterrorism" of the Scandinavian Black Metal milieu. Small Satanist grouplets catering to the black metal Satanist fringe include the Black Order, the Order of Nine Angles, the Ordo Sinistra Vivendi (formerly the Order of the Left Hand Path), and the Order of the Jarls of Balder.

The chief initiator of Nazi satanism in Britain was David William Myatt (b. 1952), active from the late 1960s. The Order of Nine Angles was active in the 1980s to 1990s and was allegedly led by Myatt. Myatt has converted to Islam in 1998 and has since endorsed Islamist terrorism.

The Order of the Jarls of Baelder (OJB) is a British neopagan society founded in 1990 by Stephen Bernard Cox, renamed to Arktion Federation in 1998, classified as fascist Satanism by Partridge (2005, p. 230). The OJB advocates "pan-European" "neo-tribalism" pursuing the "aeonic destiny of Europe" and the emergence of the elitist Superman. The OJB symbol consist of the valknut combined with the Gemini sign within a broken curved-armed swastika. Cox is also the founder of The European Library; European Heritage School, Albion Pilgrimage and the Dartmoor Experience; European Heritage Foundation; Euro-Youth Pioneers; besides Coxland Press where he self-published several works on Runic mysticism (Baelder's Book of Runic Guidance, Rune Sex Gymnastics), Pagan festivals and other topics.

The Order of Nine Angles (ONA) is a purported secretive Satanist organization which has been mentioned in books detailing Satanist and extreme right-wing groups. They were initially formed in the United Kingdom and rose to public note during the 1980s and 1990s. Presently, the ONA is asserted to have "gone back to being totally underground, having completed their mission to spread their work."

In the United States, some white supremacist groups, including several with noefascist or neonazi leanings, have built their ideologies around pagan religious imagery, including Odinism. One such group is the White Order of Thule.
