Matricide, the killing of one's mother, is considered among the most heinous crimes throughout history. Killing either one of one's parents (or both) is obviously a traumatic experience that in usual circumstances only comes about as a result of great turmoil between parent and child. Whereas Patricide carries the connotations of killing one's clan leader (or an Oedipus Complex when it's an addendum to earning the love of the mother figure), disposing of dear old mom is possibly even more extreme. After all, this is the woman who carried that person to term for nine months and then took care of them for years afterwards, so it takes an exceptionally heartless character to cross that line.
This can be variously played depending on how sympathetic the mother as well as the child who is committing the act are. Even when the mother was an Abusive Parent or Evil Matriarch, or tried to kill her offspring first, it can cause intense grief that will stay with the character for years or end in their self-destruction. For an Antagonistic Offspring it can be the ultimate way to defy Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas, being played for horror rather than drama.
Also, the trope's flavor is different depending on the age of the murderous child and the child's gender. Young children who kill their mothers are often seen as evil incarnated in the body of a child or the result of Demonic Possession. A grown woman killing her own mother can be an extreme result of the Electra Complex (the Distaff Counterpart to the Oedipus Complex) or more often the deed of The Evil Princess or if the woman's mother's death is the condition for inheritance. A grown man killing his own mother with his own hands is very rare and almost always the mark of a Complete Monster or the result of an Accidental Murder.
When people equate this to Death by Childbirth, the result is Maternal Death? Blame the Child!.
Subtrope of Self-Made Orphan and Murder in the Family. Distaff Counterpart to Patricide. Contrast Offing the Offspring.
This is a Death Trope, so beware of spoilers.

Black Jack Neo: Black Jack gets kidnapped by a deformed young man named Sarutahikone who wants him to change his face. Simultaneously, the audience is shown a news broadcast of a murdered mother and son; the suspected killer is the twin brother- Sarutahikone. The audience is led to believe that he is attempting to escape, using Black Jack to help him disguise himself. In fact, Sarutahikone had come upon the scene of his brother killing their mother and killed him in self-defense. It's explained that their mother had been sexually abusing the twin before Black Jack removed her brain tumour years ago, and the twin had killed her when she refused to rekindle the relationship.

V (2009)
After a Hope Spot which saw Diana take power back from her evil child and declare an era of peace with humans, Anna then returned, claiming that she now understands human emotion like love and caring. However, she then sneaks up behind her mom and impales her with her tail to cement her status as queen.
Anna's daughter Lisa almost became one in the same episode as the Fifth Column used her as a Decoy Damsel to lure her evil mother out so she could stab her in the back and end the war. However, the Manipulative Bitch convinced her that she had changed her ways and now cared about her and her Too Dumb to Live daughter actually believed it. After murdering Diana, Anna even boasts about how she manipulated her own child, telling her "now that is how you kill your mother".

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations, the possibility that Maya Fey killed her own mother Misty without knowing her identity comes up. It takes the entire trial (which lasts over 7 hours in-universe) to prove that no, it wasn't matricide. In a tragic turn of events, the killer was a man who wanted to protect Maya all along, Godot. It's important to note that he only killed the woman because she was channeling a spirit who was trying to murder Maya at the time.

In The Binding of Isaac the Final Boss Isaac faces on the first playthrough is Mom, with the theme that plays during the fight in Rebirth is even titled "Matricide". In this case, it's slightly more justified because your Mom has seemingly heard the voice of God telling her to kill you and decided to prove her faith by doing so.

In Nodwick, Orville is a dragon whose species is driven by instinct to kill their mothers, and this works to the heroes' advantage at one point. Elonan uses a spell that causes the heroes to perceive her zombies as their parents or former mentors, intending to fool them into being vulnerable to their attacks, and this almost works. However, because Orville regards his mother as an enemy, he becomes enraged and incinerates them.

Sons of Anarchy. Jax Teller ultimately kills his mother Gemma in the last season after he discovers that she's betrayed the club and murdered Jax's wife Tara. Nero notes that the severity of the act will destroy Jax, and he admits that despite everything she's done he still loves his mom. It's enough for Jax to wilfully arrange his own death in the series finale.

As revealed in his origin comic Thanos Rising, after Thanos Jumped Off The Slippery Slope killing his fellow Titans, he eventually killed his mother Sui-San as well. Though he actually apologises to her while doing so, saying he wished they hadn't stopped her from killing him as a baby. This being the Marvel Universe, Sui-San was brought back later and thanks to Resurrective Immortality in Eternals (2021) got killed by her son five more times. She declared to him while being tortured that while she doesn't believe in unconditional love, her hate for him was unconditional.

Played with in a Batman/Alien crossover where the head of a weapons company turns some of Batman's villains (including the Joker and Poison Ivy) into human/alien hybrids. She has the DNA injected into herself as well so they won't attack her, seeing her as the Queen. For whatever reason, it didn't take when Killer Croc was hybridized, and he messily devours her.

Toward the end of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, Athena Cykes (much like Miles Edgeworth) believes that she killed her mother Metis when she was very young, even though Simon Blackquill was convicted and sentenced to death for it. Again like Edgeworth, this is not the case but she suffers from Trauma-Induced Amnesia which messes up the deal even more- but unlike Edgeworth's case, it's believed that Metis used Athena as a guinea pig in her experiments, and that's why she snapped on her mom. If the game's played right, what truly happened is revealed: Metis never mistreated Athena but was actually trying to help her; little Athena stepped on her mother's murder scene, tried and failed to attack the killer, then fell in an Ophelia-like Heroic BSoD and that is when Blackquill found her and decided to frame himself to protect her...

In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Thousand Year Door, all six of the original Shadow Spawn tried to assassinate their mother several times and seize the throne of Arcadia, while the current generation considered it a few times. It was hardly a secret to her either. (This tells a lot about the type of mother she was, as the protagonists eventually figure out.)

However, he wasn't able to use her blood to break a third stone (the first two having been broken with the blood of his sisters) due to the arrival of the Abhorsen, which caused him to drop the cupful of her blood (that he had decided to gloat to his horrified half-brother, who was supposed to be next to die, helped as well).

Drowtales: The three Sharen sisters send mommy dearest to her room permanently so they can rule Chel'el'Sussoloth in a demonic triumvirate. Their dialog as they do it is especially cold. Made worse by the fact that to elves and drow, killing one's own mother is viewed as the worst crime one can commit, with someone who does it or willing to do it being viewed as the worst kind of person. Drow insults reflect this, with "Motherkiller" and "Motherkilling" being the most used insult and curse by their race.

Queens of Mewni: After a spell to see the future goes wrong, and Queen Galaxia is in a comatose state, Venus is forced to smother her mother Galaxia with a pillow to allow the people and her siblings to move on. The incident traumatized her so much that her Kaleidoscope Hair, eyes, and cheek marks are black for an entire year.

Fire Emblem: Awakening features a subversion. Regardless of how the game is played, Lucina decides to try and kill the Avatar to try and avert the Bad Future that she came from. If a female Avatar is her mother, Lucina even says "I know this is matricide...". However, regardless of if the player elects to accept her judgement or not, Lucina loves her too much to go through with it.

In Chronicles of the Kencyrath, the Earth Wife's backstory: "There was an old woman who dug her son's grave. When she was done, he buried her in it." Her death occurred at the moment the Kencyrath came into Rathillien, and that surge of power turned her into a goddess.

The Sopranos: Subverted in "I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano". Livia Soprano manipulates Uncle Junior to arrange a hit on her son Tony (Junior's nephew) out of resentment for putting her in a nursing home.

Locke & Key: Ellie Whedon comes really, really close to pushing her horrible mother off a cliff after she puts a cigarette out on her son's neck, but can't go through with it. However, the evil spirit she unwittingly unleashes a few pages later has no such hesitation.
