A list of passengers aboard the RMS "Titanic", which struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean while en route to New York City on its maiden voyage, and sank. [cite web|url=http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/sitemap.php?show=1|title=Titanic Passenger List|publisher=Encyclopedia Titanica|accessdate=2007-06-29] [cite book|last=Geller|first=Judith B.|authorlink=|title=Titanic: Women and Children First|publisher=W. W. Norton & Company|date=October 1998|location=|pages=197|url=|doi=|id=|isbn=978-0393046663] A name in "italics" denotes a person who was saved. Note, included in this list are the nine-member Guarantee Group and the eight members of the ship's band, who were given passenger accommodations and treated as both passengers and crew. [ [http://www.titanic-titanic.com/titanic_band.shtml Titanic's Band or Orchestra] ] [ [http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/titanic.html The Demographics of Titanic Passengers] ] They are also included in the list of crew members on board RMS Titanic article.

Passengers' names that are bolded indicates a middle name that the person was generally known by. A person generally referred to by a nickname is in quotes, while an alias is put into parenthesis.

Survivors were rescued from the lifeboats by the RMS "Carpathia". Of the 711 passengers and crew rescued from the RMS "Titanic", one, William F. Hoyt, died in a lifeboat during the night, and another five died on board the "Carpathia" and were buried at sea. Several ships sailed to the disaster area to recover victims' bodies. Numbers 324 and 325 were unused, and the six passengers buried at sea by the "Carpathia" also went unnumbered. [cite web|url=http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/cap/titanic/|title= RMS Titanic: List of Bodies and Disposition of Same|publisher=Nova Scotia Archives and Records Management |accessdate=2008-03-03] The three bodies recovered by the RMS "Oceanic", numbers 331, 332 and 333, were occupants of Collapsible A, which was swamped in the last moments of the sinking. Several people managed to reach the boat, although some died during the night. When Fifth Officer Harold Lowe rescued the survivors of Collapsible A, he left three bodies in the boat: Thomas Beattie, a first-class passenger, and two crew members, a fireman and a seaman. Collapsible A, with the three bodies still inside, was discovered over convert|200|mi|km from the site of the sinking by the Oceanic about a month later.

In 2007, scientists using DNA analysis identified the body of an unknown child recovered after the incident as Sidney Leslie Goodwin, a 19-month-old boy from England. Goodwin, along with his parents and five siblings, boarded in Southampton, England as third-class passengers. [cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Scientists Finally Solve Titanic Mystery |url= |quote=Buried in a small plot in a Halifax cemetery, the baby was a poignant symbol of the children who perished on the vessel when it sank in 1912. In 2002, it seemed the mystery was solved; Canadian researchers said he was a thirteen-month-old Finnish boy. However, on Tuesday, a lead researcher said the child was actually the 19-month-old boy from England. |publisher=Associated Press |date=August 3, 2007 |accessdate=2007-07-21 ]
