Wikimedia thematic organizations are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects within a specified focal area. Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". 2 thematic organisations currently exist in nearly every continent of the world.

This page lists current and planned thematic organizations. Please see the Step-by-step thematic organization creation guide and the Thematic organizations FAQ for more information. The Affiliations Committee exists to aid the creation of, and to support, thematic organizations.

Existing thematic organizations, both founded (dark blue) and approved (dark turquoise), planned chapters (green), and chapters in discussion (light blue) as of 18 June 2012.
