This is a list of notable students and faculty of Shimer College, a very small Great Books college in Chicago, Illinois.

Founded in 1853, Shimer occupied a traditional college campus in Mount Carroll, Illinois, from 1853 to 1978, and an improvised campus in Waukegan from 1979 to 2006. It has occupied a dedicated space on the Illinois Institute of Technology campus in Chicago since 2006. Small throughout its existence, Shimer enrolled 141 students as of 2012.[1] As of 2008, Shimer had 5,615 living alumni.[2]

The school is known for its Great Books curriculum, and also for its early entrance program, both of which have been in effect since 1950.[3][4] Many on this list were early entrants.
