Protests against Donald Trump have occurred in the United States and internationally, even before his entry into the 2016 presidential campaign. Protests have expressed opposition to Trump's campaign rhetoric, his electoral win, his first inauguration, his alleged history of sexual misconduct, including a 2023 verdict in which he was held liable for sexual abuse, and various presidential actions, most notably his travel ban in 2017 and aggressive family separation policy in 2018.

Some protests have taken the form of walk-outs, business closures, and petitions as well as rallies, demonstrations, and marches. While most protests have been peaceful, actionable conduct such as vandalism and assaults on Trump supporters has occurred. Some protesters have been criminally charged with rioting.
