The Summit for Democracy was a virtual summit hosted by the United States during the presidency of Joe Biden "to renew democracy at home and confront autocracies abroad". The first summit was held on December 9–10, 2021. The three themes are defending against authoritarianism, addressing and fighting corruption, and advancing respect for human rights. Contradictory to its themes, multiple un-democratic and authoritarian nations have attended, which has attracted criticism.

The second Summit was held in March 2023 and was co-hosted by United States, Costa Rica, Zambia, Netherlands and Korea.

The third Summit was held in March 2024 hosted in-person and virtually by Republic of Korea.
