A serial killer, or serial murderer, is someone who kills three or more people over a period, driven by psychological gratification. The FBI identifies motives like anger, thrill-seeking, financial gain, and attention-seeking. Serial killers often have specific victim profiles, such as demographic traits or gender. The FBI analyzes these patterns to track down the killers and understand their motives. Though distinct from mass murderers, spree killers, or contract killers, serial killers can share traits with these other types of criminals.

The term "serial killer" is often credited to former FBI special agent Robert Ressler, who used "serial homicide" in a 1974 lecture at the Police Staff College in Bramshill, England. Ann Rule, in her book Kiss Me, Kill Me, credits LAPD detective Pierce Brooks with coining the term and creating the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) system in 1985.
