contents It is well known that a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is simple exactly when its derivation algebra is simple. In this paper we characterize those Lie algebras of arbitrary dimension over any field that have a simple derivation algebra. As an application we classify the Lie algebras that have a complete simple derivation algebra and are either finite-dimensional over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>3$ or $\mathbb{Z}$-graded of finite growth over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.
