This is a list of quasiparticles.
| Quasiparticle | Signification | Underlying particles |

| Magnon | A coherent excitation of electron spins in a material | |
| Majorana fermion | A quasiparticle equal to its own antiparticle, emerging as a midgap state in certain superconductors | |
| Nematicon | A soliton in nematic liquid-crystal media | |
| Orbiton | A quasiparticle resulting from electron spin–orbital separation | |
| Oscillon | A soliton-like single wave in vibrating media | |

| Phonon | Vibrational modes in a crystal lattice associated with atomic shifts | |
| Plasmaron | A quasiparticle emerging from the coupling between a plasmon and a hole | |
| Plasmon | A coherent excitation of a plasma | |
| Polaron | A moving charged quasiparticle that is surrounded by ions in a material | electron, phonon |

| Relaxon | A collective phonon excitation | Phonon |
| Roton | Elementary excitation in superfluid helium-4 | |
| Soliton | A self-reinforcing solitary excitation wave | |
| Spinon | A quasiparticle produced as a result of electron spin–charge separation that can form both quantum spin liquid and strongly correlated quantum spin liquid | |
| Trion | A coherent excitation of three quasiparticles (two holes and one electron or two electrons and one hole) | |
