List of redheads

Elizabeth I circa 1546, when she was still a princess.
Prince Harry, fifth in line to the British throne.
Vincent van Gogh painted himself in Paris in 1887.

This is a list of notable people with natural red hair. Red or ginger hair may come in a variety of shades from strawberry blond to auburn.[1] It is the rarest natural hair colour.[1]

People who dyed their red hair into another colour or who went grey with age are included, but people with hair dyed red, such as Lucille Ball, Rita Hayworth and Sophie Turner are not.[1][2]

Figures from the Bible or classical mythology, such as Esau or Judas Iscariot, are included. Characters from modern fiction such as Anne of Green Gables or Ginger Hebblethwaite are not.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
