This is a list of Disney Villain characters, often based on fictional antagonist characters who have been featured as part of the Disney character line-up. Some of these villain characters have appeared in sequels, video games, comic books, stage productions, or live-action adaptations of the original films.
Much like with the Disney Princess line with some of Disney's female lead animated characters, Disney's villain characters are also often grouped together as part of a Disney Villains franchise, formed by various antagonists from Walt Disney Pictures productions, with a main focus on characters from animated films, mainly those from Walt Disney Animation Studios productions.{{cite web|last=Dryfhout|first=Taryn|title=It's Good to be Bad: Why the World has Gone Mad for Disney Villains|url=https://hourloop.com/blogs/news/its-good-to-be-bad-why-the-world-has-gone-mad-for-disney-villains|website=Hour Loop|access-date=2020-04-23|date=2016-07-13|df=mdy-all}}{{cite web|last=Hersey|first=Liz|title=The Official List Of Every Evil Disney Villain, Ranked|url=https://screenrant.com/every-evil-disney-villain-ranked/|website=Screen Rant|access-date=2020-04-24|date=2019-02-24|df=mdy-all}}{{cite web|last=Ebiri|first=Bilge|title=Where Are the Disney Villains of Yesteryear?|url=https://www.vulture.com/2014/05/where-have-all-the-disney-villains-gone.html|website=Vulture.com|publisher=New York|access-date=2020-04-23|date=2014-05-29|df=mdy-all}}

Merchandising
In August 2018, a strategy game titled Disney Villainous was designed by Prospero Hall, published by Ravensburger and released exclusively to Target stores. The game has players compete as Disney Villains attempting to accomplish their goals from the film, while simultaneously trying to slow down their opponents. As of March 2021, four standalone expansions have released, with each adding three different playable villains.{{cite web | url=https://www.prosperohall.com/games/villainous/ | title=Prospero Hall Villainous}}
Villain merchandise was available at the former Villains in Vogue store in Sunset Blvd, at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Other Disney Villains on AFI's list were the unseen hunter(s) from Bambi and Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians.{{cite web

|archive-date=2007-05-07}} AFI did not rely on Disney's classification of who qualified as a villain, but used this definition instead:
a "villain" was defined as a character(s) whose wickedness of mind, selfishness of character and will to power are sometimes masked by beauty and nobility, while others may rage unmasked. They can be horribly evil or grandiosely funny, but are ultimately tragic.{{Cite web |last=Li |first=Lucy |date=2018-08-30 |title=Who is the Greatest Supervillain in Cinema History According to Data? |url=https://www.displayr.com/who-is-the-greatest-supervillain-in-cinema-history-according-to-data/ |access-date=2024-05-19 |website=Displayr |language=en-US}}
