This is a list of mass killers or spree killers in Oceania and Maritime Southeast Asia. A mass murderer is typically defined as someone who kills three or more people in one incident, with no "cooling off" period, not including themselves. A mass murder typically occurs in a single location where one or more persons kill several others.
This list does not include serial killers, members of democidal governments, or major political figures who orchestrated such actions.
Some perpetrators may not have committed their acts as it is unclear if they were convicted.
