This is a list of Latter Day Saints who have attained at least some level of fame and/or success. This list includes adherents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), as well as adherents of related denominations (as labeled). It lists those who are current adherents of a Latter Day Saint Church and those who were adherents at the time of their death. The majority of people listed below are practicing Latter-day Saints, but the list may also include nonchurchgoers. See Former Latter-day Saints for a list of persons who ended their affiliation with LDS movement religions. Note that in several cases persons listed here have been excommunicated from one Latter Day Saint movement denomination, but went on to participate in another LDS movement denomination. In these cases, the person is still listed here because they continue to profess belief in the LDS movement.
