While working on my own homebrew setting, I have built a list of Fighting Styles. While searching for ideas that other people have come up with, I've fallen a bit short... There must be more out there that I haven't come across, and I expect there are some gems of ideas out there hidden within homebrew classes. S I thought I could create a list to solve this issue for anyone else looking for the same thing as me.
Below are listed all the Fighting Styles from the PHB and other sources, Including some that I have created or adapted for my own setting. Anyone out there who has found or created other Fighting styles, please chime in and post a link if it's appropriate and I will update the list.

- Gun-Fu - (fighter, paladin, ranger) You can wield any small arm with which you are proficient as a melee weapon that deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage, and has the finesse property. Small arms with the light property retain that property when used in this way. Also when you are hit with a melee attack you can use your reaction to push the attacker 5 feet away from you.

- Distraction - When you attack with your weapon your mighty bellow and antics tend attract attention. When you take the Attack action on your turn, as a bonus action, you may subject creatures hostile to you within 10 to make a Wisdom saving throw. If they fail, they focus their attention on you, granting them disadvantage on their attacks and perception checks if it is not against you.
- Mounted Archery - While riding your Steed, you can make an extra ranged attack at disadvantage against a target within 15 feet of you when you take the Attack action on your turn.

- Mounted Duelling - While riding your Steed and wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain +1 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
- Mounted Two-Weapon Fighting - While riding your Steed, when you land a critical hit, you can use your reaction to make another weapon attack.
- Reach Weapon Fighting - When you use a reach weapon to attack a creature further than 10 feet away from you, and you can use your reaction for attacks of opportunity against that creatures at that distance.

- Acrobatic - (fighter, ranger) You may use Acrobatics instead of Athletics when you use a combat manoeuvre like the shove or disarm action, and have advantage on checks made to avoid or escape grapples, restraints and magical paralysis.
- Charging - (Fighter, ranger) When you dash, you may move an additional 10 feet and may make an attack with a melee weapon against a creature as part of the dash. ((Note, the Charger feat gains the point that if you have this fighting style, you add the +5 damage bonus to the attack from this fighting style as well))
- Executioner - (fighter) When you damage a creature that is blind, frightened, restrained, paralysed, prone or stunned, you double the damage provided by your ability modifier. On a critical hit, you triple your ability modifier instead.
- Phalanx - (fighter, paladin, ranger) When an ally within 5 feet of you makes an attack against a creature in your reach, you may use your reaction to give your ally advantage on their attack roll.
- Smiting - (paladin) When you use your divine smite class feature or cast a spell with the word "smite" in its name, you may increase the damage the feature or spell deals by your charisma modifier.
- Skirmish - (ranger) When you damage a creature from hiding, you may remain hidden until the end of your turn as long as you move. If you end your turn behind a new piece of cover, you may make a new stealth check to attempt to remain hidden as a reaction.
- Throwing weapons - (fighter, ranger) You double the range of your throwing weapons, may draw extra throwing weapons as part of the attack action, and have a +2 bonus on attack rolls made in the short range of your throwing weapons. ((This fighting style is this powerful because throwing weapons have just... So many weaknesses that it isn't even funny. This is compensation for that fact.))
- Unarmed - (fighter) Your unarmed attacks count as 1d4 light, finesse weapons for all purposes except disarming. Additionally, any effect or ability that increases your unarmed strike damage, such as the Aarakokra race, each level of monk unarmed attack progression or the tavern brawler feat, increases the size of the damage die of your unarmed strike by one (to a maximum of 1d12).
- Unarmoured - (fighter) When you are not wearing armour, your armour class is equal to 12+your dexterity modifier. Additionally, you gain a climb and swim speed equal to your normal movement speed, and may increase the distance you jump by your constitution modifier.
