List of people with dwarfism


The following is a list of people who are known for their dwarfism and who have been open about it.

Dwarfism is caused by several different types of medical conditions, and is typically defined as an adult with a height of or less. Records or mentions of people with dwarfism have not always been kept well, resulting in estimated heights that were taken from eyewitnesses.
