Fictional assassins

Pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where applicable. This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large. It should directly contain very few, if any, articles and should mainly contain subcategories.

This page lists characters in fiction who are explicitly identified in the story as being a assassin, defined as a professional person who murders (a usually prominent person) by deliberately sudden and/or secret attack, often for financial compensation or political motivation.

For articles about fictional characters who have murdered multiple people in a single incident, see Category:Fictional mass murderers; for fictional characters who have committed multiple separate murders over a period of time, see Category:Fictional serial killers.
