feminazi is a neologism, a portmanteau term derived from the words the words feminist and Nazi, used predominantly in United States conservatives' political rhetoric, to characterize women whose ideas they disagree with as misandrous; that is, as having an irrational and extreme hatred of men.

The term was popularized by prominent broadcaster Rush Limbaugh, who credited his friend Tom Hazlett, a professor of economics at the University of California, Davis, with coining the term.

In the extreme formulation, feminazis are seen by conservative commentators as women who persecute men. The term "feminazi" is not self-applied by any mainstream feminist movement or group. The term is often used as a derogatory term for feminist.
