This is a list of Methodist denominations (or list of Methodist connexions) including those affiliated with the World Methodist Council, as well as those which are not, the latter of which have been indicated with an asterisk. The denominations' relative sizes are not evident from this list. The list may not be comprehensive, but intends to be an accessible overview of the diversity and global scope of contemporary Methodism.

This list also includes some united and uniting churches with Methodist participation. Some denominations may not have an exclusively Wesleyan heritage.
