This is a list of all astronomers who are credited by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) with the discovery of one or several minor planets. A second table lists all institutional discoverers of minor planets such as observatories and surveys (see § Discovering dedicated institutions). As of March 2017, the MPC credits a total of 488,449 numbered minor planets to 1,008 astronomers and 232 dedicated institutions, respectively.

For a detailed description of the table's content, see § Notes.
