The survivors, or castaways, of Oceanic Flight 815 crashed on the Island on September 22, 2004. Out of 324 people on board, ("One of Us") there were 72 initial survivors (71 humans and 1 dog) spread across 3 sections. Sixty-four of these survivors have either spoken, or have been seen or referenced in the episodes of the show. After about 40 days on the Island, Aaron Littleton was born. The plane was also carrying the casket with the body of Christian Shephard. When Jack found the casket along with other luggage in the jungle, he discovered that the casket was empty and there was no body of his deceased father to be found, arising some questions about Christian and his status. ("White Rabbit")

This article lists every character known to have survived the crash.

For list of only the Middle Section survivors, Tail Section survivors and Victims of the Crash, see List of Middle Section survivors, List of Tail Section survivors, and List of Oceanic Flight 815 crash victims, respectively.

Deuterocanonical survivors

The characters below, highlighted in light blue, are deuterocanonical survivors. These characters have only appeared in the deuterocanonical sources of the ABC Diary and the website Oceanic-air.com. Although these sources are official, they are not created or ordered by the creators of the show, and thus the actual status of the characters only appearing here remains unclear.

Expanded Universe survivors

Several characters have so far only appeared in expanded universe media, such as video games and novels. Due to the status of this material, these characters are considered as canonical (or "real") as the characters appearing within the show.

Over 50 extras have rotated to portray the background (non-speaking) survivors of Flight 815. Some survivors have been given nicknames by fans, some of which have also been associated with specific names from the dialog in the script of episodes. This is merely an artifact from vagaries of the irregular hiring of such non-salaried extras: The number of individuals in the pool of every extra who has ever appeared on the beach dating back to Season 1 exceeds the "official" number of survivors. Therefore it is likely that in future episodes, some extras will suddenly appear, while others temporarily or permanently disappear. Extras that have been incidentally given or associated with a name in script dialog appear in the main table, above. See the main article for a full list of extras, and any given or fan names.

Living and dead survivors

47 of the total 72 initial survivors of the crash are either known to have died or presumed to have died during the the main timeline of events on the Island. That leaves as many as 26 remaining survivors, including Aaron (possibly more if some of the presumed dead characters are actually alive); however, 13 of them have been absorbed by the Others and are rarely seen.

Those who have died or are presumed to have died are (47):

Main characters (10):

Boone Carlyle, Shannon Rutherford, Ana Lucia Cortez, Libby, Eko, Nikki Fernandez, Paulo, Charlie Pace, Michael Dawson, John Locke

Minor characters (19):

Gary Troup, Seth Norris, Edward Mars, Donald, Joanna Miller, Nathan, Scott Jackson, Leslie Arzt, Doug, Jerome, Neil, Sullivan, Gas Man, Tourniquet Man, Woman (Pilot, Part 1), N.D. Survivor, Richard, Steve, Craig

NOTE: Though presumed killed in the flaming arrow attack "Sullivan", "Gas Man", "Tourniquet Man" and "Woman", though credited, have not been seen since season 1. N.D. Survivor and Richard in turn have not been seen since season 3. Steve has not been seen since the end of season 4 and Craig has not made an appearance since the flaming arrow attack. It is very hard to determine how many people died in that attack. However, executive producers commented that a lot of survivors had died.

Background characters (18):

3 unnamed Tailies who died from injuries suffered in the crash

2 unnamed survivors presumed killed by the Freighties.

3 unnamed survivors presumed killed in the Kahana explosion,

8 unnamed survivors presumed killed in the flaming arrow attack (at least 6),

2 unnamed survivors killed by a claymore mine.

The known living survivors are (12):

Main characters (8):

Off island:

Walt Lloyd

On island (2007):

Sun-Hwa Kwon

On island (1977):

Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, James "Sawyer" Ford, Jin Kwon, Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, Sayid Jarrah

Minor characters (4):

Off island:

Aaron Littleton

On island (1977):

Rose Nadler, Bernard Nadler, Vincent

The characters with a known location but unknown fate are (14):

Main characters (1):

Claire Littleton (last seen on the island)

Minor characters (taken by the Others) (13):

Cindy Chandler, Zach, Emma, Nancy, Eli, Jim, seven others (Some of these have been seen alive, but it is not clear how many or what their names are. Since they were all missing when Locke started time traveling, it is unclear what happened to them.)

Partially identified characters:

There are a number of characters that are either unseen (i.e. a name without a face) or unnamed (i.e. a face without a name). It is assumed that the partially identified characters overlap somehow with the partially identified or unidentified characters listed above (the unnamed casualties, those unnamed kidnapped by the Others, the unnamed people time traveling with the beach camp).

Unseen characters:

Lance, Tracy, Jim and Eli.

There are many characters identified in expanded universe and deuterocanonical sources.

Unnamed characters:

There are too many unnamed background characters to list. In fact, due to turnover in the background cast, there are more unnamed background characters than there are unnamed survivors on the island. Because of this, it is impossible to list specific unnamed characters unless their status is known.
