The survivors, or castaways, of Oceanic Flight 815 crashed on the Island on September 22, 2004. Out of 324 people on board, ("One of Us") there were 72 initial survivors (71 humans and 1 dog) spread across 3 sections (1 front, 49 middle and 22 tail). Most of these survivors have either spoken, or have been seen or referenced in the episodes of the show. Additionally, after about 40 days on the Island, Aaron Littleton was born. The plane was also carrying the casket with the body of Christian Shephard. When Jack found the casket along with other luggage in the jungle, he discovered that the casket was empty and there was no body of his deceased father to be found, arising some questions about Christian and his status. ("White Rabbit")

This article lists every character known to have survived the crash.

For list of only the Middle Section survivors, Tail Section survivors and Victims of the Crash, see List of Middle Section survivors, List of Tail Section survivors, and List of Oceanic Flight 815 crash victims, respectively.

Expanded Universe survivors

Several characters have so far only appeared in expanded universe media, such as video games and novels. Due to the status of this material, these characters are considered as canonical (or "real") as the characters appearing within the show.

Deuterocanonical survivors

The characters below have only appeared in the deuterocanonical sources of the ABC Diary and the website Oceanic-air.com. Although these sources are official, they are not created or ordered by the creators of the show, and thus the actual status of the characters only appearing here remains unclear.

Other possible survivors

Over 50 extras have rotated to portray the background (non-speaking) survivors of Flight 815. Some survivors have been given nicknames by fans, some of which have also been associated with specific names from the dialog in the script of episodes. This is merely an artifact from vagaries of the irregular hiring of such non-salaried extras: The number of individuals in the pool of every extra who has ever appeared on the beach dating back to Season 1 exceeds the "official" number of survivors. Therefore it is likely that in future episodes, some extras will suddenly appear, while others temporarily or permanently disappear. Extras that have been incidentally given or associated with a name in script dialog appear in the main table, above. See the main article for a full list of extras, and any given or fan names.

Tally of living and dead survivors

47 of the total 73 survivors (including Aaron and Vincent) are known to have either died or presumed to have died since the crash. That leaves as many as 26 remaining survivors, possibly more if some of the presumed dead characters are actually alive; however, 13 of them have been taken by the Others and are rarely seen.

Those who have died or are presumed to have died are (47):

Main characters (10):

Boone Carlyle, Shannon Rutherford, Ana Lucia Cortez, Libby Smith, Eko, Nikki Fernandez, Paulo, Charlie Pace, Michael Dawson and John Locke.

Minor characters (37):

Gary Troup, Seth Norris, Edward Mars, Man on beach, Donald, Joanna Miller, Nathan, Scott Jackson, Leslie Arzt, Doug, Blonde casualty, Jerome, Neil, Craig, Steve, Richard, N.D. Survivor, Sullivan, Tourniquet Man, Gas Man, Woman, Tracy, Lance, 2 unnamed Tail section survivors and 12 unnamed Middle section survivors.

NOTE: Though presumed killed in the flaming arrow attack several characters have not been seen since earlier seasons. It is very hard to determine how many people were killed; however, executive producers commented that a lot of survivors died in the attack.

The known living survivors are (9):

Main characters (8):

Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, James "Sawyer" Ford, Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, Sayid Jarrah, Jin-Soo Kwon, Sun-Hwa Kwon and Walt Lloyd.

Minor characters (1):

Aaron Littleton.

The characters with an unknown fate are (17):

Main characters (1):

Claire Littleton.

Minor characters (16):

Rose Nadler, Bernard Nadler, Vincent, Cindy Chandler, Zach, Emma, Jim, Eli, Nancy, Curly-Haired Guy, Blonde Guy, German Tailender and 4 unnamed Tail section survivors.

Partially identified characters:

There are a number of characters that are either unseen (i.e. a name without a face) or unnamed (i.e. a face without a name). It is assumed that the unseen characters overlap somehow with the unnamed characters.

Unseen characters:

Tracy, Lance, Jim, Eli, Nancy, Curly-Haired Guy, Blonde Guy, German Tailender and characters identified in expanded universe and deuterocanonical sources.

Unnamed characters:

There are too many unnamed background characters to list. In fact, due to turnover in the background cast, there are more unnamed background characters than there are unnamed survivors on the island. Because of this, it is impossible to list specific unnamed characters unless their status is known.

Alternate timeline

In season 6 an alternate version of the flight of Oceanic 815 was shown in which all passengers survived. However the passengers on the two versions of the flight were not an exact match (eg. Shannon was on the original flight only while Desmond was on the alternate one only).
