القتل المستهدف Targeted killing، هوأحد أشكال الاغتيالات لأشخاص يفترض ارتكابهم جرائم جنائية. يعتقد بعض المحللين حتى القتل المستهدف هوتلطيف حديث للاغتيال (قتل مع تجاوز الإصرار) للأفراد من قبل تنظيم أومؤسسة تابعة للدولة كإجراء غير قانوني أوبعيداً عن ساحة المعركة.

منذ أواخر القرن 20، أصبح الوضع القانوني للقتل المستهدف محل خلاف داخل الدول المتنوعة وفيما بينها. تاريخياً، منذ منتصف القرن الثامن عشر على الأقل، كان الفكر الغربي يعتقد بوجه عام حتى استخدام الاغتيالات كأداة للحكم غير قانونياً. بعض الأكاديميين، العسكريين والمسئولين وصفوا القتل المستهدف بأنه يعتبر عملاً شرعياً في سياق الدفاع عن النفس، عندما يتم استخدامه ضد الإرهابيين أوالمقاتلين المنخرطين في حرب غير متكافئة. يزعم هؤلاء بأن الدرونات أكثر إنسانية وأكثر دقة من المركبات المأهولة، وأن عمليات "القتل المستهدفة" أوالمسماة لا تحدث في أي سياق آخر غير في حالة إعلان الحرب.

ستة وعشرون من أعضاء الكونگروس، برفقة أكاديميون مثل گريگوري جونسون وتشارلز شميتز، وشخصيات إعلامية (جرمي ساهيل، گلن گرينوالد،جيمس تروب)، وجماعات الحقوق المدنية (مثل الاتحاد الأمريكي للحريات المدنية) ورئيس مخط المخابرات المركزية السابق في إسلام أباد، روبرت گرنير، انتقدوا القتل المستهدف على أنه أحد أشكال القتل خارج نطاق القانون، والذي قد يحدث عملاً غير قانونياً داخل الولايات المتحدة وربما بموجب القانون الدولي. بصفة خاصة، فإن الدفاع الاحترازي عن النفس لا يمكن حتى يبرر عمليات القتل المستهدف خارج الصراعات المسلحة؛ ولا يجوز استخدام القوة القاتلة عمداً إلا في مثل هذه الحالات لحماية الأرواح من التهديدات الوشيكة والخطيرة. تبعاً للتحليلات الإحصائية من قبل ريپرايڤ، فإن هناكتسعة أطفال يقتلون عند محاولة الولايات المتحدة استهداف إنسان واحد بالغ، وفي المحاولات الفاشلة المتعددة لقتل أيمن الظواهري، قتلت المخابرات المركزية 76 طفل و29 إنسان لا علاقة له بالأمر.
