Illegal stamps are postage stamp-like labels issued in the names of existing independent countries or territories used to defraud postal administrations, stamp collectors, and the general public.

Illegal stamps are to be distinguished from the many varieties of cinderella stamps which may have some of the same characteristics as illegal stamps but which are not usually issued in the name of an existing country.

They are also to be distinguished from the stamps of completely fictitious or bogus countries.

They are also to be distinguished from counterfeit reproductions of actual stamps (Category:Counterfeit stamps)
