This is a list of the world's largest public, state-owned, and private businesses by its consolidated revenue. The list is limited to companies with annual revenues exceeding 110 billion USD. The most common industry is oil and gas, with nearly one third being classified as such.

The availability and reliability of up-to-date information on prior state-owned companies is limited and varies from country to country, thus this list may be incomplete. This list is shown in U.S. dollars, but many of the companies on it prepare their accounts in other currencies. The dollar value of their revenue may change substantially in a short period of time due to exchange rate fluctuations.
