Many Steven Universe episodes have been censored on foreign feeds of Cartoon Network. These edits mainly occur due to the television content guidelines differing from the United States, and often include removing scenes or lines that may be "unsuitable" for younger viewers. Cultural differences are also another common reason episodes might get censored.

Censorship has been reported in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, Scandinavian countries, Latin America, Spain, Portugal, France, Africa, Italy, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Southeast Europe, Russia, Germany, Poland, Netherlands, the Middle East and North Africa, Turkey, Southeast Asia, Philippines, Australia, Taiwan, India and Pakistan broadcasts.

Most censored versions in regions controlled by Turner EMEA and Turner Asia Pacific use master "foreign" edits, with broadcasts in some countries further shortening these already edited versions (e.g. RSEE and MENA for Turner EMEA and Philippines for Turner Asia Pacific).

In Kenya, this show has been banned due to its LGBT+ themes in 2017.[1] The show no longer airs in the Middle East (excluding Israel) and North Africa for unexplained reasons. However, this may also be due to the LGBT+ themes.[citation needed]
