A '''self-coup''', also called an '''autocoup''' ({{etymology|es|{{wiktspa|autogolpe}}|}}) or '''coup from the top''', is a form of [[coup d'état]] in which a nation's head, having come to power through legal means, tries to stay in power through illegal means. The leader may dissolve or render powerless the national [[legislature]] and unlawfully assume extraordinary powers not granted under normal circumstances. Other measures may include annulling the nation's [[constitution]], suspending civil courts, and having the [[head of government]] assume [[dictator]]ial powers.<ref name="UY72">{{Cite book |last=Kaufman |first=Edy |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vMHNkmwKPuQC |title=Uruguay in Transition: From Civilian to Military Rule |publisher=Transaction Publishers |isbn=978-1-4128-4084-2 |language=en}}</ref><ref name="atlantic-2020-12-07">{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/12/trumps-farcical-inept-and-deadly-serious-coup-attempt/617309/ |title=This Must Be Your First|first1=Zeynep|last1=Tufekci|work=The Atlantic|date=December 7, 2020|quote=In political science, the term ''coup'' refers to the illegitimate overthrow of a sitting government—usually through violence or the threat of violence.

A self-coup, also called an autocoup (from Spanish Template:Wiktspa) or coup from the top, is a form of coup d'état in which a nation's head, having come to power through legal means, tries to stay in power through illegal means.
