* The eponymous ''DistrictNine''.

* In ''TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', the city of Windhelm segregates Dark Elves into the Grey Quarter, since the government of the city isn't too big on non-
Nords, and Dark Elves and Nords don't get along. And they ''still'' get better treatment than the [[LizardFolk Argonians]], who are merely killed on sight.

* Ceres in ''AiNoKusabi''.

* Book TheOrphansTales has Shadukiam city, where magical beings are either locked in separated areas on outskirts (genies, one-legged) or forced to wear distinctive clothes (Yi). Local MadOracle (who actually pretends to be mad to scare off wealthy idiots) chose to reside in a shadow of shiny basilica, chained to dirty wall, because it’s where these in need appear. Citizens prefer to have them all where they can’t dirty their beautiful city.

* In ShadowRun, Orks and Trolls often get this treatment. Notable examples include [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orkland]] in the Bay Area and Yomi Island in Japan.
** What, no love for the Seattle Underground?

* City of Kumersun in SpiceAndWolf has an area surrounded by high wall, where live alchemists and other people, whose profession is considered “suspicious” by the Church. Dina is a local chronicler, collecting tales not yet censored by authorities and mediating in trade between inhabitants and outside world. She also happens to be [[spoiler: a giant bird, who took on human shape like Holo.]]
* Ceres in AiNoKusabi.

* The plot of the first ''{{Shrek}}'' movie was basically driven by the local EvilPrince turning Shrek's swamp-home into a ghetto for fairy-tale creatures and the like, and Shrek objecting rather violently to this. (Not because he's got something about the ghettoization, mind - as long as it's not in HIS back yard.)

* The eponymous DistrictNine.

* Several in New Crobuzon on "PerdidoStreetStation" for pretty much any non-human sentinent species.

** For that matter Gensokyo itself ''is'' a massive ghetto for the fantastic beings, a last ditch attempt to save the supernaturals from the increasingly disbelieving modern world.

** Also, after the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Native Martians]] sold their entire planet's surface to humans they were required to live underground. This is resolved when they discover [[spoiler:that they sold their land for a ''lot'' of money, allowing them to just buy a new planet]].

* the ''WildCards'' novels have Jokertown, the only place where Jokers (the 9 percent of the people who contract the Wild Card Virus who don't die or become normal-looking superhumans) don't have to be self conscious about their disfiguring mutations.

* The Magical Ghetto in ''{{Dreamfall}}'' is where TheEmpire of Azadi keeps the non-human citizens of Marcuria permanently locked in.

* City of Kumersun in SpieceAndWolf has an area surrounded by high wall, where live alchemists and other people, whose profession is considered “suspicious” by the Church. Dina is a local chronicler, collecting tales not yet censored by religious authorities and mediating in trade between inhabitants and outside world. She also happens to be [[spoiler: giant bird, who took on human shape like Holo.]]

* This shows up during AlanMoore's run on ''Wildcats'', when the team visits Khera, where it turns out the Kherubim-Daemonite war ended centuries ago everywhere except Earth. Khera is ruled by the wealthy and technologically advanced Kherubim while the planet's indigenous population, a race of {{Sizeshifter}}s from which [[TheBigGuy Maul]] descended, has been displaced into underground cities, and Daemonite civilians living on Khera are confined to a low-tech ghetto. Having one Daemonite ancestor is enough to get Voodoo, a Kherubim-human hybrid like her teammates, forced into the ghetto.

* In the [[TheEmpire Holy Britannian Empire]] of the ''CodeGeass'' universe, the "Concession" cities in the conquered "Area" colonies are usually split between the rich "Settlements" inhabited by Britannians, Honorary Britannians, and generally the rich and powerful, whilst the "Ghettos" are where the conquered "Numbers", terrorists, and other unsavoury groups are forced to reside. The Tokyo Concession in Area 11 (Japan) is the best example, being the setting for the majority of the series.

* The Underground, the setting of ''{{Touhou}} Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism'', is where those youkai that were shunned and despised by their brethren went, including a spider that causes disease, two mind-readers with severe PowerIncontinence, and all of the oni (with the exception of Suika, who left). True to [[CrapsaccharineWorld the nature]] of ''Touhou'', the denizens not only willingly moved to the Underground but are far more content amongst fellow exiles than they were before.
