List of University of Oxford people

The following persons attended the University of Oxford but did not necessarily complete a degree course there.

The list of alumni has been divided into categories, but it should be noted that these categories are somewhat arbitrary, and that many of the university's alumni have been polymaths (for instance William Ewart Gladstone was a prominent classicist as well as Prime Minister; some theologians could equally well be considered as philosophers), in these cases an attempt has been made to put them in the category for which they were most famous.

Oxford alumni include at least 10 Kings of six different nations, 50 Presidents and Prime Ministers of 18 different nations (including 26 British Prime Ministers), seven saints, one pope, 18 cardinals, 86 archbishops, three Fields medallists and 47 Nobel prize-winners (including winners of all categories).
