The following is a list of motorcycle manufacturers worldwide, sorted by extant/extinct status and by country. These are producers whose motorcycles are available to the public, including both street legal as well as racetrack-only or off-road-only motorcycles. The list of current manufacturers does not include badge engineered bikes or motorcycle customisers, but the list of defunct manufactures may include some of these if they are well remembered for their historical significance.

In 1994, Bernard Li acquired the rights to the Vincent trademark, and in 1996 formed Vincent Motors, USA, which made five prototype motorcycles in 2002. The engine used in these motorcycles has since gone out of production and Li has since died. It is therefore not likely that series production will begin. Wooler (1911–1954) Zenith (1903–1950)
