The list ranks laureates under the country/countries that are stated by the Nobel Prize committee on its website. Some laureates are listed under more than one country, because the official website mentions multiple countries in relation to the laureate. If a country is merely mentioned as the place of birth, an asterisk(*) is used in the respective listing to indicate this. In this case, the birth country is mentioned in italics at the other listings of this laureate. Laureate–country connections that are not mentioned at the official website are not considered in this list.

Organizations are listed if the Nobel Prize committee relates them to a single country.
