En vigilante (fra spansk vigilante, «vakt») er en person som tar loven i sine egne hender, eller forsøker å straffe noen for å bryte loven uten å ha rett til det. Begrepet kobles blant annet til mobber som bedrev lynsjing i Sørstatene i USA, og det forsøkes å skille det fra mer akseptable former for selvtekt som borgerarrest.
