Anarchy is a term that has a number of different, but often related, usages.

• An anarchy can mean a society based on the principles of one or more strains of the political theory anarchism. Advocates of one or other form of this theory have often named their newspapers, magazines and pamphlets, in various languages, "Anarchy"; for example:
  • Anarchy (magazine), published in London in the sixties and seventies
  • Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed
  • Anarchy, a book by Errico Malatesta
  • Anarchy!: An Anthology of Emma Goldman's Mother Earth, edited by Peter Glassgold
• Critics of anarchism, and others not intending to criticise or confuse, sometimes use the term negatively, to describe what might more accurately be called chaos or anomie.
• The Anarchy is the name most often given to the period of civil war and unsettled government which occurred in England during the reign of King Stephen I of England.
