List of serial rapists by number of victims

A serial rapist is someone who commits multiple rapes, whether with multiple victims or a single victim repeatedly over a period of time.^[1] Some serial rapists target children.^[2]^[3]^[4] The terms sexual predator, repeat rape and multiple offending can also be used to describe the activities of those who commit a number of consecutive rapes, but remain unprosecuted when self-reported in research.^[5]

This list does not include serial killers who raped their victims then killed them; only serial rapists who non-fatally attacked their victims and raped them should be included here. This list should include serial rapists with at least 3 victims. Serial killers that only raped their victims are also included. Serial rapists without a Wikipedia article can be included with reliable sources.
