(Learn how and when to remove these messages) This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2024) This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: the criteria currently used in the list is inconsistent and not strict, along with other problems. (October 2021)

The present list ranks laureates under the country/countries that are stated by the Nobel Prize committee on its website.^[2] The list does not distinguish between laureates who received a full prize and the majority who shared a prize.^[3] Some laureates are listed under more than one country, because the official website mentions multiple countries in relation to the laureate.^[4] If a country is merely mentioned as the place of birth, an asterisk (*) is used in the respective listing to indicate this.^[5] In this case, the birth country is mentioned in italics at the other listings of this laureate. In some cases the country is mentioned as a place of ancestry, then the Nobel laureate is denoted by double asterisk (**)

Organizations are listed here if the Nobel Prize committee relates them to a single country.^[6]
