Villainous organisations
- SMERSH – SMiERt SHpionam, "Death to Spies," Bond's original nemesis in the novels, though only taking an active role in the 1967 film Casino Royale and only briefly mentioned in the others (apparently disbanded 20 years before the events of The Living Daylights). The Soviet agency is in charge of assassination, loosely based on the real-life SMERSH.
- SPECTRE – SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion, first appeared in the novel Thunderball and replaced SMERSH as Bond's nemesis in the films. The independent terrorist organisation is headed by Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In the 2015 film, Spectre, 007 digs deep into the organisation and tries to get payback for his beloved M (Judi Dench); he discovers the organisation is headed by his adopted brother Franz Oberhauser, now calling himself Blofeld, and that its entire purpose was to personnally persecute Bond himself.
- The Spangled Mob – Bond's enemy in the novel Diamonds Are Forever, appearing also in Goldfinger and The Man with the Golden Gun. The mob is an American Mafia family based in Las Vegas.
- Drax Metals – Hugo Drax's company.
- Stromberg Shipping Line – Karl Stromberg's organisation.
- Zorin Enterprises – Max Zorin's industrial conglomerate.
- Entreprises Auric A.G. – Auric Goldfinger's organisation.

- Yakuza – Japanese crime gang in the novel The Man with the Red Tattoo.
- COLD – The Children of Last Days, a terrorist organisation that Bond faces in the novel COLD.
- The Union – A villainous organisation in Raymond Benson's novels High Time to Kill, Doubleshot, and Never Dream of Dying.
- OCTOPUS – Replaces SPECTRE in the video game adaptation of From Russia with Love for copyright reasons.
- BAST – Brotherhood of Anarchy and Secret Terrorism, featured in the novel Win, Lose or Die.
- Quantum – A shadowy criminal organisation seen in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.[1] The organisation is strictly apolitical—but with considerable political influence of their own—and will deal with anyone whose interests converge with their own. Known members of the organisation include an extensive network of current and former politicians, business people and intelligence agents. One of their leading members, Dominic Greene, leads a cover organisation called Greene Planet. In Spectre (2015), the organisation is revealed as a division within SPECTRE rather than an independent group.
