This is a list of the different types of Stands within the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure universe.

Close-Range Stand

 * These Stands are known for being able to inflict powerful and/or swift attacks or deal close-range effects, with Destructive Power and Speed normally ranking between A-C. However, they are only able to move small distances from their users and/or have short-range attacks or effect radius. These Stands will generally obey their users' will.

Long-Distance Stand

 * Also known as a Remote Control Stand. They follow their users' will and are capable of long-range movement. These Stands normally have ranged attacks and/or attack from distances as far as being measured in kilometers, which is why most Stands of this type are typically ranked A or B in Range. On the other hand, they generally sport lower Destructive Power compared to Close-Range Stands.

Automatic Stand
{| class="wikitable" ! style="background:rgba(75, 152, 235, 0.8);" | !
 * Stands that act on their own. They follow a simple objective without being directly ordered by their Users, though they can be preset to follow orders before they are activated. Said users do not have to be present for the Stands to do anything, as these Stands have a range that is close to infinite, with no diminish in power relative to the distance from their user. The user will not receive any damage if the Stand takes any damage (in most cases). As an offset, automated Stands often lack precision and complex cognitive ability, and are clumsy compared to normal Stands.

Evolved Stand
Throughout the series, various methods are introduced for altering a Stand's base form. A select few number of Stands have the inherent ability to undergo metamorphosis and evolve naturally, becoming stronger and allowing their user to unlock various forms of the same Stand, referred to as "ACTs". The Arrow is also known for its ability of further unlocking the potential of a Stand, it's effects seemingly determined by whether or not the User or Stand is targeted. A Stand User may also obtain a new Stand through a process described in DIO's Diary as a way to "achieve Heaven".

Uncontrollable Stand
Some Stands cannot be controlled by their Users and are instead controlled by other sources instead or have a personality completely independent of its user. As an obvious result, these Stands do not follow their masters' orders.

Dead Stand
are Stands capable of existing long after their User's death, enabling them to act on their own free will. Due to their nature, Dead Stands are automatic-based and as such, range or damage to their user is irrelevant.

Fusion Stand
In the event of two Stand users becoming one being, like in the case with Josuke Higashikata, their Stands will fuse together. The user's new Stand will acquire a new ability or aspect, which is usually a combination of the two original Stand abilities.
