This is a list of notable sausages. Sausage is a food and usually made from ground meat with a skin around it. Typically, a sausage is formed in a casing traditionally made from intestine, but sometimes synthetic. Some sausages are cooked during processing and the casing may be removed after. Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Sausages may be preserved.

By country
[edit]Notes:
- Many sausages do not have a unique name. E.g. "salsicha", "country sausage", etc.
 - Sausages with the same name in different countries may be identical, similar, or significantly different. This also applies to names with different spellings in different regions, e.g. lukanka, loukaniko; bloedworst, blutwurst. The chorizo of many South American countries is different from the Spanish chorizo.
