This is a list of members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Members of the First Presidency, which include the President of the Church and his counselors, are not considered as part of the Quorum. Thus, if called as a counselor in the First Presidency, they are considered as having left the Quorum.
