This list of Baptist denominations is a list of subdivisions of Baptists, with their various Baptist associations, conferences, conventions, fellowships, groups, and unions around the world. A primary Baptist principle is that local Baptist Churches are independent and self-governing,^[1] and so the term 'Baptist denomination' is somewhat incongruous.
