Mexican Americans are Hispanic and Latino Americans who claim "Mexican" as their ethnic ancestry. The list includes, besides Mexican immigrants having American citizenship and their descendants, resident Mexicans who lived in the Mexican Southwest of the current U.S. when this territory was incorporated into the U.S. in 1848 and thereby became U.S. citizens.

This is a list of 'notable Mexican Americans', including original immigrants and settlers of South from United States who obtained American citizenship and their American descendants.

This list is ordered by surname within section.

To be included in this list, the person must have a Wikipedia article showing they are Mexican American or must have references showing they are Mexican American and are notable.
