List of Latter Day Saints

This is a list of Latter Day Saints who have attained levels of notability. This list includes adherents of all Latter Day Saint movement denominations, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), Community of Christ, and others. Members of the LDS Church are usually considered either "active", meaning they attend church on a regular basis and are committed to living their religion, or "less-active" or "inactive", meaning they do not attend church regularly and/or they do not adhere to its principles. See List of former Latter Day Saints for a list of persons who ended their affiliation with Latter Day Saint movement religions.
