This is a partial list of insurgents and militia members killed in the Iraq War according to a few published news sources. Insurgent deaths, like civilian deaths, are hard to count or estimate. See the examples of undercounting shown in Casualties of the conflict in Iraq since 2003. Also, some claims are difficult to verify. For example; the claim by an Al Qaeda leader that 4000 foreign insurgents have been killed in the war.
Besides serving as an indicator of some of the numbers of insurgent deaths during specific time periods, this article allows readers to investigate the circumstances of those deaths by reading the citation articles. It also allows readers and researchers to investigate patterns in the type of insurgent tactics used, and the patterns in coalition responses.
