A Scientologist is a follower of the doctrines and beliefs of Scientology. Eileen Barker writes in New Religious Movements: Challenge and Response that the Church of Scientology considers any individual who has taken at least one Scientology course to be a Scientologist. Scientology president Heber Jentzsch stated in a videotaped court deposition that membership statistics are based on the sum of all individuals that have ever taken any Scientology course since the organization's foundation in 1954. The following is an incomplete list of notable past and present Scientologists.

Being familiar with the phrase 'Once a Catholic, always a Catholic', we should not be surprised that the Church of Scientology considers all those who have ever done one of their courses to be a Scientologist, and counts them as such even if they have not been in touch with the movement for years - even, presumably, if they are among the movement's most virtiolic opponents. - Eileen Barker {{cite book}}: |first= has generic name (help)CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)
