Human sacrifice was the practice of killing a person as an offering on an altar, usually to a god or gods. In 2267, when "Lord" Garth of Izar wondered if the unenthusiastic "heir apparent" James T. Kirk might want a larger role in his coronation ceremony, he suggested Human sacrifice instead. After Kirk graciously declined ("No, I wouldn't enjoy that at all."), saying Garth needed him alive, the insane man agreed, saying he had other candidates. (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy" )

- The sacrifice of humans and other sentients to the Gods.
- Human Sacrifice (人柱, Hitobashira) is a term in the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise used by the Homunculi to describe a certain, significant type of person. Due to the widely divergent paths taken by the manga storyline and the 2003 anime storyline after the term was introduced, it means two very different things in either continuity.
- Human Sacrifice is a ritualistic killing of one or more human beings so as to appease a deity, demon or other supernatural force - often it is considered a barbaric act but depending on the time period or culture it could be a common occurrence (as was the case with Aztecs). It is also used in some forms of black magic to obtain power from the death and/or suffering of victims - often this is done with ceremonial daggers, pyres or other ancient execution methods and a victim is usually picked for specific reasons (such as being a virgin).
- Human Sacrifice is a comedy sitcom/reality television show hosted on the Fox Network. It is currently hosted by Charles Manson (who replaced Stephen King) and produced by Donald Trump. As of season six, an Independent Media Poll showed that it is the second most watched television show in the United States, after Big Brother. It first aired on April 15th of 1912, the first episode including the sinking of the RMS Titanic.
- Even if not ostensibly connected with religion, infliction of capital punishment is often highly ritualised and thus difficult to distinguish from human sacrifice. Death by burning historically has aspects of both human sacrifice (Wicker Man, Tophet) and capital punishment (Brazen bull, Tamar, tunica molesta). Detractors of the death penalty may consider all forms of capital punishment as secularized variants of human sacrifice. Similarly, lynching, pogroms and genocides are sometimes interpreted as human sacrifice following Theodor W. Adorno.
- It is thought portrayed during the reign of Hor-Aha depicted on a label from Abydos which has been associated with the fashioning of the imi-wt fetish. A kneeling figure is shown, with a figure of authority behind him. A prisoner is in front of the kneeling figure, a knife being plunged into him while his hands are tied. A bowl is between them to collect the blood.
- Barbara Wright wanted to use her power as an Aztec leader to end the practice, but the First Doctor told her not to alter history. (TV: The Aztecs) In 1891, the Hecate Cult performed its last human sacrifice in Moreton Harwood. (TV: A Girl's Best Friend) In the 1970s, attempted to sacrifice Jo Grant to Azal, but the Third Doctor rescued her. (TV: The Dæmons) On 21 December 1981, the Hecate Cult attempted to sacrifice Brendan Richards but were stopped by Sarah Jane Smith and K9. (TV: A Girl's Best Friend)

| - Even if not ostensibly connected with religion, infliction of capital punishment is often highly ritualised and thus difficult to distinguish from human sacrifice. Death by burning historically has aspects of both human sacrifice (Wicker Man, Tophet) and capital punishment (Brazen bull, Tamar, tunica molesta). Detractors of the death penalty may consider all forms of capital punishment as secularized variants of human sacrifice. Similarly, lynching, pogroms and genocides are sometimes interpreted as human sacrifice following Theodor W. Adorno. In modern times, even the once ubiquitous practice of animal sacrifice has virtually disappeared from all major religions (or has been re-cast in terms of ritual slaughter), and human sacrifice has become extremely rare. Most religions condemn the practice, and present-day secular laws treat it as murder. In the context of a society which condemns human sacrifice, the term ritual murder is used. Similar killings for the purpose of ritual are still occasionally seen, with reports from the 2000s from Sub-Saharan Africa (muti killings), but also isolated cases in the immigrant African diaspora in Europe. Sati too is extremely rarely seen in India.

As of season six, an Independent Media Poll showed that it is the second most watched television show in the United States, after Big Brother. It first aired on April 15th of 1912, the first episode including the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Since its release, there have been several spinoffs, one of them being the CIA project "Family Guy". It has been recognized as the sole foundation on which all television shows subsequent to it were based upon. The show has gained much controversy in many years, primarily from right-winged Marxist ultranational antidisestablishmentarian Pastafarian radicals; they claim the show infringes on their popular beliefs after the show's supportive airing of anti-right-winged, anti-Marxist, anti-ultranationalism, pro-disestablishmentarianism, anti-Pastafarianism radicalism commercials for Cheerios. Despite this backlash, the show has successfully run six seasons, and is currently recording season seven.
- It is thought portrayed during the reign of Hor-Aha depicted on a label from Abydos which has been associated with the fashioning of the imi-wt fetish. A kneeling figure is shown, with a figure of authority behind him. A prisoner is in front of the kneeling figure, a knife being plunged into him while his hands are tied. A bowl is between them to collect the blood. Another depiction has also been found on a Year Label from Saqqara dating to the reign of Djer which also shows the ritual of Human Sacrifice, this would make sense considering the amount of satellite burials placed in his funerary complex .
