List of Alpha Phi Omega members

This is a listing of notable alumni and honorary members of Alpha Phi Omega, an international service fraternity. The list includes members of the fraternity who have become well known or who have attained high ranking positions in their particular career field, such as government and politics, academia, science and technology, sports, or business. Notable alumni refers to individuals who joined individual Alpha Phi Omega chapters during their college years and later went on to distinguish themselves in their personal or professional lives. Alumni include advisors who are members of the faculty, staff, scouting or community selected by a chapter to advise them. An honorary member refers to individuals who were offered honorary membership in various Alpha Phi Omega chapters as non-students, usually after they became notable.

The majority of chapters are in the United States of America, and nearly all of the remainder are in The Philippines.
