[[File:Thích Quảng Đức self-immolation.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|The self-immolation of [[Thích Quảng Đức]], done in protest against [[Persecution of Buddhists#Vietnam|Buddhist persecution by Christians]] in [[South Vietnam]]]]

This is a list of notable people who committed [[self-immolation]] (the act of setting themselves on fire) for political reasons. Non-political self-immolations are not included in the list.

== Background ==

Self-immolation is commonly understood as suicide by means of fire, although some scholars refer to the practice using the term "auto-cremation".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Self-immolation as political protest: a brief modern history|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/bushnell-self-immolation-deaths-1.7126655|language=en}}</ref> The act of self-immolation has historical roots extending back centuries. Self-immolation was undertaken by a group of Christians around 300 A.D., who chose to burn themselves before Roman authorities could enact an execution order issued by Emperor [[Diocletian]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|last1=Burga |first1=Solcyré |title=The History of Self-Immolation as Political Protest|magazine=TIME |date=February 26, 2024 |url=https://time.com/6835364/self-immolation-history-israel-hamas-war/|language=en}}</ref> Jack Downey, a professor of religious studies at the University of Rochester who specializes in the study of self-immolation as a form of protest, notes that there has long been debate over whether the act's extreme nature ultimately overshadows or detracts from the intended message of the protest itself.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Hernandez |first1=Joe |title=Why self-immolation has been used by political protesters for decades
