List of alumni of St Edmund Hall, Oxford

This is a list of notable alumni of St Edmund Hall, Oxford, one of the constituent colleges of University of Oxford, and informally known as Teddy Hall. The overwhelming maleness of this list is partially explained by the fact that for roughly 95% of its history (from its foundation in 1278 until 1979), women were barred from studying at the college.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
