Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West^[1]^[6]^[3] (German: Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes), abbreviated Pegida (German: [peˈɡiːda], stylised in its logo as PEGIDA), is a pan-European, anti-Islam, far-right extremist political movement.^[7]^[8] German Pegida believes that Germany is being increasingly Islamicised^[9] and defines itself in opposition to Islamic extremism.

Pegida wants to curb immigration into Germany and it accuses the authorities of failure to enforce related laws.^[10] Pegida has held many demonstrations, often accompanied by counter-demonstrations.^[11] In 2015, Lutz Bachmann, the founder of Pegida, resigned from the movement after posing as Adolf Hitler and making racist statements on Facebook.^[12] He was later reinstated.^[13]

Though nationalism is a central feature, Pegida offshoots have formed in various countries. It is a grassroots part of the counter-jihad movement.^[14]
