This is a list of megaprojects, which may be defined as projects that cost more than US$1 billion and attract a large amount of public attention because of their effects on communities, the natural and built environment, and budgets; or more simply "initiatives that are physical, very expensive, and public".{{cite book |last1=Altshuler |first1=Alan |last2=Luberoff |first2=David |title=Mega-Projects: The Changing Politics of Urban Public Investment |publisher=Brookings Institution Press |date=30 April 2003 |isbn=978-0-8157-0129-3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UZY5vCO06NQC |access-date=9 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170118071647/https://books.google.com/books?id=UZY5vCO06NQC |archive-date=18 January 2017 |url-status=live }}

Megaprojects can be found in many fields of human endeavor, including bridges, tunnels, highways, railways, hospitals, airports, seaports, power plants, dams, wastewater projects, Special Economic Zones (SEZ), oil and natural gas extraction projects, public buildings, information technology systems, aerospace projects, and military weapons. The following lists are far from comprehensive.

While most megaprojects are planned and undertaken with careful forethought, some are undertaken out of necessity after a natural disaster occurs. There have also been a few human-made disasters. Major restoration was necessary after the destruction caused by World War I and II, some of which was paid for by German reparations for World War I and for World War II.
