This is a list of all people who were active during the Later Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period, starting with the year 180 AD and ending with 280 AD.
To some people a small biography has been added under the column Biography, because too little about their lives has been documented to write a totally new article about them.
All fictional people are listed in our List of fictional people of the Three Kingdoms.
All animals are listed in our List of animals of the Three Kingdoms.
We have also listed all women separately in our List of women of the Three Kingdoms.
