List of people banned from entering the United Kingdom

The Home Office, a United Kingdom government department, has, from August 2005 to 31 March 2009, excluded 101 individuals from the UK for having "engaged in unacceptable behaviour". Of those, 22 were excluded by then Home Secretary Jacqui Smith between 28 October 2008 and 31 March 2009. On 5 May 2009 Smith publicly "named and shamed" 16 of those individuals. In addition to the sixteen, other people are or have been banned from the United Kingdom.

The individuals are not necessarily banned from the British overseas territories, which have their own immigration regulations.

Smith's successor as Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, ended the policy of naming people who are banned from entering Britain. Michael Savage was the focus of most media attention, as he threatened to sue Smith for libel, alleging that he, one of two Jews listed alongside the American-born Israeli Mike Guzovsky, had been banned from entering the UK "to counter-balance all the Arabs named on her list".

The following 16 names were published:

The following individuals have at some point been temporarily or permanently refused entry into the United Kingdom. Of these individuals, some may be among the censored section of the Home Office list; CNSNews.com identifies Ibrahim Mousawi, listed below, as being "evidently one of the six" banned from entering the UK whose names were withheld by the Home Office.

These individuals have at some point been banned from entering the United Kingdom, or at least temporarily refused entry; these individuals are either deceased or have eventually been allowed entry.
