The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force along with many other Allied countries throughout the Second World War and afterwards into the 1950s as both a front-line fighter and also in secondary roles.

Many smaller countries purchased Spitfires as the major industrial nations phased out propeller-powered aircraft in favour of new jets.[1] When these smaller nations started to update their air forces, many of their Second World War aircraft were sold on the open market to individuals or for scrap.[2]

Museums and private collectors began to acquire these Spitfire and Seafire aircraft, and today many survive in these collections around the world.

This article lists surviving Spitfires and Seafires, according to their geographical location and the condition that they are in.
