Underconstruction.png Work in Progress!

A work in progress is being carried out on this page by Simpsons88, and may undergo critical changes while this message remains in place.

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, particularly those from the earlier seasons, are not included in the DVD releases or streaming versions 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.
