Editor Notes/Tips: I am pulling in a more complete list than the mainspace list currently composes. I am pulling names from Category:Iowa State University alumni . This re-structuring is being based on the Featured List: List of Dartmouth College alumni . At this time, I am not separating Iowa State Faculty and Staff into another list, although that is a likely outcome owing to the size of the ISU Alumni category.

This list of Iowa State University alumni includes graduates, non-graduate former students, current students, faculty, staff and administration of Iowa State University . In 1872, the first class of 26 students graduated from Iowa Agricultural College.[ 1] [ 2]
