This is a '''list of military special forces units''', also known as [[special forces|special operations forces]] (SOF), currently active with countries around the world, that are specially organized, trained and equipped to conduct [[special operations]].
These are distinct from special-purpose infantry units, such as the [[Royal Marine Commandos]], found on the [[list of commando units]], and also [[paratrooper]] units found on the [[list of paratrooper forces]].

[[NATO]] currently defines "special operations" as:

In 2001, as part of efforts to create a framework for consultation and cooperation between [[NATO-Russia Council|NATO and Russia]], the ''NATO-RUSSIA Glossary of Contemporary Political and Military Terms'' further defined special operations and special operations forces:<ref>{{cite web|author1=North Atlantic Treaty Organization|title=NATO-Russia Glossary of Contemporary Political and Military Terms|url=http://www.nato.int/docu/glossary/eng/|website=NATO|access-date=19 September 2016|date=8 June 2001|archive-date=21 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160921055642/http://www.nato.int/docu/glossary/eng/|url-status=live}}</ref>
<blockquote>'''special operations''' military activities conducted by specially designated, organized, trained and equipped forces using operational techniques and modes of employment not standard to conventional forces. These activities are conducted across the full range of military operations independently or in coordination with operations of conventional forces to achieve political, military, psychological and economic objectives. Politico-military considerations may require clandestine, covert or discreet techniques and the acceptance of a degree of physical and political risk not associated with conventional operations.<ref name="NATORussia">{{cite web|title=NATO-Russia Glossary of Contemporary Political and Military Terms|url=http://www.nato.int/docu/glossary/eng/15-main.pdf|website=NATO|access-date=17 September 2016|date=8 June 2001|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303223732/http://www.nato.int/docu/glossary/eng/15-main.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>'''special-operations forces''' strategic formations and units of the armed forces, whose role is to conduct sabotage, reconnaissance, subversive and other special operations on the territory of foreign countries. In wartime they may also be assigned tasks such as intelligence-gathering, the seizure or destruction of key installations, the conduct of psychological operations or the organization of insurgencies in the enemy's rear area. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have separate special-operations forces brigades, battalions and companies which are integrated with the intelligence assets of military districts, fronts, fleets, armies or corps.<ref name="NATORussia" /></blockquote>
The United States definition of special operations is:
<blockquote>Operations requiring unique modes of employment, tactical techniques, equipment and training often conducted in hostile, denied, or politically sensitive environments and characterized by one or more of the following: time sensitive, clandestine, low visibility, conducted with and/or through indigenous forces, requiring regional expertise, and/or a high degree of risk.<ref name="US doctrine">{{cite journal|last1=Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS)|title=Special Operations|journal=Joint Publication|date=16 July 2014|volume=3-05|page=GL-11|url=http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp3_05.pdf|access-date=18 September 2016|publisher=Department of Defense|___location=Washington, DC|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161201152006/http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp3_05.pdf|archive-date=1 December 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref></blockquote>
The Canadian definition of special operations forces is:
<blockquote>Organizations containing specially trained personnel that are organized, equipped and trained to conduct high-risk, high value, special operations to achieve military, political, economic, or international objectives by using special and unique operational methodologies in hostile, denied, or politically sensitive area to achieve desired tactical operational, and/or strategic effects in times of peace, conflict, or war.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Horn|first1=Colonel Bernd|title=No Ordinary Men: Special Operations Forces Missions in Afghanistan (foreword by General T.J.
