Latest revision as of 14:30, February 27, 2026

The following is a list of dedicated episodes of The Simpsons. These episodes include on-screen dedications to deceased guest stars, cast and crew members, and their family members.

Many of the dedications are not included in the DVD releases or streaming platforms and appear only in the original television broadcasts. Additionally, some dedications to individuals who passed away after an episode originally aired have been added in later reruns.
