We classify the simple Lie algebras of dimension at most 9 over GF(2). There is one of dimension 3 and one of dimension 6, there are two of dimension 7 and two of dimension 8, and there is one of dimension 9. The two simple Lie algebras of dimension 8 are restricted Lie algebras. If we extend the ground field to GF(4), then the six-dimensional algebra is no longer simple, and if we extend the ground field to GF(8) then the nine-dimensional algebra is no longer simple. But the other algebras are all central simple.
