Stop Murder Music is an international campaign seeking to oppose musicians whose lyrics glorify violence against homosexuals. It is jointly run by three gay rights groups: Outrage!, the Black Gay Men's Advisory Group and the Jamaica-based J-Flag. Peter Tatchell is closely involved with the campaign's British chapter, while its Canadian division was founded by Akim Larcher.

The campaign has a particular focus on the music of Jamaica. In 2008, Stop Murder Music Canada called for a complete boycott on Jamaican music until the country's government does more to tackle homophobic violence; the previous year the campaign had successfully forced the cancellations of Ontario concerts by Sizzla, Elephant Man, Capleton, Baby Cham and Beenie Man.

Stop Murder Music has been criticised in some quarters on the grounds that its targets have the right to free speech and by people who believe its focus on Jamaican musicians to be racist.
