List of non-binary political office-holders

This article contains dynamic lists that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by editing the page to add missing items, with references to reliable sources.

This is a list of officeholders which openly self-identify as non-binary (i.e. genderqueer) or agender, bigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, or otherwise identify as under the non-binary gender umbrella. There has been an increase in non-binary legislators in recent years. The LGBTQ+ Victory Institute recorded that 52 officials were under the non-binary gender umbrella in 2024, an increase of 69.6 percent from the year before,^[1] while the Orie Givens, Vice President of Communications, for the same organization, described the legislators work as "pivotal" to resist efforts to "restrict identity to the gender binary."^[2]

This list is organized alphabetically by surname (i.e. last name), or by a single name if the individual does not have a surname. Some officeholders listed were not elected while out as non-binary, and either came out, or were outed, at a later date.
