The Epstein files comprise over six million pages of documents detailing the activities of American financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. So far about three and a half million files have been made public with redactions, among them 180,000 images and 2,000 videos.

This article lists people who cultivated relationships with Epstein, as evidenced in the released files and reported in reliable sources. Among others, they were professionals he hired; people who hired him; scholars he entertained and funded; powerful men and women; Silicon Valley elite, royalty, and political leaders who provided connections and companionship; people who wanted to stand close to the wealthy and connected; and lifelong friends.

The compilation of these names in this list neither establishes wrongdoing by those named nor should it be interpreted as evidence that the people listed are guilty of misconduct. Many people featured in the files deny any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein's life and crimes, and Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only person ever convicted of being a co-conspirator of Epstein.
