This is a list of notable graduates as well as non-graduate former students of Aix-Marseille University in France. It also includes those who may be considered alumni by extension, having studied at institutions that previously were part, or later became part of the university.
The list has been divided into categories indicating the field of activity in which alumni have become well known. Many of AMU’s alumni have distinguished themselves in more than one field, however these appear only in the category which they are most often associated.
