Fan mail is mail sent to a public figure, especially a celebrity, by their admirers or "fans".

Fan mail may be in the form of letters, cards, artworks, gifts, and so on; depending on the recipient, it may also be possible to send fan mail via email. The contents of fan mail may also vary greatly from simple autograph requests to actual marriage proposals.

Since a major celebrity may receive thousands of pieces of fan mail every day, it is usually impossible for him/her to reply or read them all; his/her manager often has the duty of canvassing the incoming mail. Normally fan mail should be sent to the office of the celebrity's management; to send fan mail to his or her private address (unless he/she knows the sender personally) is not only difficult (as most celebrities attempt to keep their home addresses secret), but is also inappropriate (as this would be considered a form of stalking).

Jordan McAuley started the first Web site (ContactAnyCelebrity.com) that provides fan mail addresses to the public.
