this is a list of well-known mormon dissidents or other members of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints (lds church) who have either been excommunicated or have been resigned from the church – as well as of individuals no longer self-identifying as lds. while the church doesn't regularly provide information about excommunication or resignation, those listed here have made such information public. in a very few cases, the list below may include former adherents of other latter day saint movement denominations who have ceased identifying as mormon, as well.
