Esta es una lista de personas notables de Puerto Rico que incluye personas que nacieron en Puerto Rico (Borinquen) y personas que son de ascendencia puertorriqueña total o parcial . El gobierno de Puerto Rico ha estado emitiendo "Certificados de Ciudadanía Puertorriqueña" a cualquier persona nacida en Puerto Rico o a cualquier persona nacida fuera de Puerto Rico con al menos un padre que nació en Puerto Rico desde 2007. [1] [2] También se incluyen en la lista algunos residentes continentales estadounidenses y otros residentes o inmigrantes de otras herencias étnicas que han hecho de Puerto Rico su hogar y se consideran puertorriqueños.
La lista se divide en categorías y, en algunos casos, subcategorías, que describen mejor el campo en el que el sujeto es más conocido. Algunas categorías como "Actores, actrices, comediantes y directores" son relativas, ya que un sujeto que es comediante también puede ser actor o director. En algunos casos, un sujeto puede ser notable en más de un campo, como Luis A. Ferré , quien es notable tanto como exgobernador como industrial. Sin embargo, la costumbre es colocar el nombre del sujeto debajo de la categoría en la que el sujeto es más conocido.
