The Far Right, Radical Right, or Hard Right are terms used by many scholars to discuss political groups, movements, and political parties that are located to the right of mainstream electoral conservatism.

Much confusion is caused by widely varying usage of the term.

Far Right can refer to:

  • The Dissident Right, Activist Right, or Right-Wing Populism, which are forms of right wing politics located between traditional conservatives and the extreme right. In this case it is found outside mainstream electoral politics, but is generally a movement of drastic reform rather than actual revolution.
  • The extreme right, which includes neo-fascists, White supremacists, and Neo-Nazis. Such groups are generally revolutionary in character rather than reformist.
  • The whole range of right-wing politics from the Dissident Right to the far reaches of the extreme right.

The list below includes a range of political parties, some of which have also been decribed as extreme right or even neo-fascist:
