This is a list of contestants who have appeared on the American television show Survivor. Contestants are called Castaways in the show, and they compete against each other to become the Sole Survivor and win one million US dollars. The series first aired in . There have been eighteen seasons, which have been filmed on five different continents. The nineteenth season, Survivor: Samoa will premiere in Autumn 2009.

A total of 301 participants have competed, and 30 of them have competed in multiple seasons: In , an All-Stars edition aired, with the cast being eighteen past competitors; in as part of a surprise twist, two past contestants from Survivor: Palau competed again in Survivor: Guatemala; and in , Survivor: Micronesia featured a tribe of ten returning contestants against a tribe of ten new contestants.

Contestants usually apply to be on the show, but the series has been known to recruit contestants for various seasons. For Survivor: Fiji, the producers had hoped to have a more racially diverse cast, and hoped that a more diverse group would apply after the success of the racially segregated Survivor: Cook Islands. When this did not happen, the producers turned to recruiting and in the end, only Gary Stritesky had actually submitted an application to be on the show. Also for Survivor: Fiji, Mellisa McNulty, a 27-year-old talent manager from Los Angeles, would have been the twentieth contestant on the show, but dropped out and returned home the night before the show began because of panic attacks. Because of the timing and lack of alternates, her spot could not be replaced and the season only had nineteen contestants. For the most part, contestants are virtually unknown prior to their Survivor appearance, but occasionally some well known people are cast.
