Laureates/Winners of the Nobel Prize listed by country. As of October 2005, 776 individuals and organisations have been awarded a Nobel Prize.
The list shows nationalities of the laureates, as stated at the official website of the Nobel Prize. Some laureates are listed under more than one country: for instance, if their country of birth and/or nationality differs from their country of residence. In these cases, a star (*) appears next to their name when it is listed under their birth country, and their country of birth appears in italics next to their name in all other lists. Organisations which were founded in a single country, are marked by two asterisks (**).
