This is a list of contestants who have appeared on the American television show America's Next Top Model. Hosted by model Tyra Banks and her panel of judges, a number of aspiring models compete to win a modeling contract with a top modeling agency, a cover and/or spread in a fashion magazine, and a cosmetics campaign. The series first aired in 2003 and as of 2018, twenty-four cycles have aired. A total of 311 different participants have been selected as finalists in the show in its fifteen years running, with twenty-four models (Adrianne Curry, Yoanna House, Eva Pigford, Naima Mora, Nicole Linkletter, Danielle Evans, CariDee English, Jaslene Gonzalez, Saleisha Stowers, Whitney Thompson, McKey Sullivan, Teyona Anderson, Nicole Fox, Krista White, Ann Ward, Brittani Kline, Lisa D'Amato, Sophie Sumner, Laura James, Jourdan Miller, Keith Carlos, Nyle DiMarco, India Gants, and Kyla Coleman) crowned "America's Next Top Model".

Contestants usually apply to be on the show through video-auditioning, or attend casting calls, but the series has been known to recruit contestants from a myriad of various methods. Cycle 9 winner Saleisha Stowers and cycle 11 second runner-up Analeigh Tipton were recruited via MySpace. Isis King from cycle 11 was recruited after appearing as an extra from cycle 10's homeless photo shoot, while cycle 6 contestant Sara Albert was scouted at a mall. Cycle 13's Ashley Howard was also scouted at The Tyra Banks Show, while cycle 15 contestants Jane Randall and Kendal Brown were scouted through a photo challenge on Tyra Banks' website. Cycle 20 contestant Mike Scocozza was scouted while working in an ice cream truck. In more recent years of the show, the production team has taken to scouting for contestants on various social media platforms, like Instagram.
