The COVID-19 recession is an ongoing global economic recession in direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The recession has been the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression. So far, the recession has lasted one year and six months worldwide, beginning in February 2020. Following a global economic slowdown during 2019 that saw stagnation of stock markets and consumer activity, the COVID-19 lockdowns and other precautions taken during the COVID-19 pandemic threw the global economy into crisis. Within seven months, every advanced economy had fallen to recession or depression, while all emerging economies were in recession. Modeling by the World Bank suggests that, in some regions, a full recovery will not be achieved until 2025 or beyond.

The first major sign of recession was the 2020 stock market crash, which saw major indices drop 20 to 30% in late February and March. Recovery began in early April 2020, and many market indices recovered or even set new records by late 2020. Though the crash began on February 20, selling was intensified during the first half of March to mid-March. During the crash, there were multiple severe daily drops in the global stock market, the largest drop was on March 16, nicknamed 'Black Monday II' of 12–13% in most global markets. There were two other significant dates of crashes in the stock markets, one being March 9, nicknamed 'Black Monday I', and on March 12, nicknamed 'Black Thursday'. To deal with the panic, banks and reserves across the world cut their interest rates, bank rates and cash flow rates, as well as offering unprecedented support to investors and markets.

The recession has seen unusually high and rapid increases in unemployment in many countries. By October 2020, more than 10 million unemployment cases had been filed in the United States, swamping state-funded unemployment insurance computer systems and processes. The United Nations (UN) predicted in April 2020 that global unemployment will wipe out 6.7% of working hours globally in the second quarter of 2020— equivalent to 195 million full-time workers. In some countries, unemployment is expected to be at around 10%, with more severely affected nations from the COVID-19 pandemic having higher unemployment rates. Developing countries were also being affected by a drop in remittances, exacerbating COVID-19 pandemic–related famines.

From September 6-10, 2021, the U.S. recorded record number of COVID-19 cases, fueled by the delta variant.
