• The Goa Inquisition, which was run by Portuguese colonials in Goa for nearly 200 years.
• The Medieval Inquisition, including Episcopal Inquisition and Papal Inquisition
• The Spanish Inquisition, the name given to an ecclesiastical tribunal established in 1478 by Ferdinand and Isabella to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms. This inquisition became particularly notorious for acting as an instrument of repression against the significant Spanish Jewish, and the Muslim populations after the last battles of the Reconquista, and for essentially dehumanizing and enslaving the native populations of North and South America as the new international power extended itself to the new world's continents.
• The Portuguese Inquisition
• The Roman Inquisition

• Robert Anton Wilson's book The New Inquisition (ISBN 1-56184-002-5) is critical of the application of the Scientific Method in the 20th century.
• The popular Ring of Fire series fittingly, with it's setting amidst the (mainly religiously inspired or excused) Thirty Years' War repeatedly hammers the inquisition and discusses it's various attributes and implementations in various books of the series. The historical research in the series is excellent. In the flagship novel 1632, the American leader's take particular satisfaction in burning members of the Spanish Inquisition using Napalm in the Battle of the Wartburg; members of the inquisition take center stage in 1634: The Galileo Affair, and the Italian inquisition is attacked by the Spanish in 1635: The Cannon Law, whereas the sequel 1634: The Bavarian Crisis, members of the privy council of both the Holy Roman Emperor and the Elector of Bavaria are depicted as catholic priests and members of the Inquisition, and further, have been the powers behind the leaders who had set forth the underlying secular causus belli, the Edict of Restitution.
