O PEGIDA, sigla para Europeus Patriotas contra a Islamização do Ocidente (em alemão: Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes), é uma organização de extrema-direita sediada na cidade de Dresden, que se opõe à imigração de muçulmanos na Alemanha. Desde 20 de outubro de 2014, o PEGIDA organiza demonstrações públicas contra o governo alemão e aquilo que considera ser a islamização do Ocidente.
