This is a list of notable people who are known to have been placed under surveillance by the Five Eyes (FVEY) - a term used by intelligence agencies to refer to the following five countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

FVEY countries are bound by the UKUSA Agreement for cooperation in signals intelligence. Although the UKUSA alliance is often associated with the global surveillance system ECHELON, processed intelligence is reliant on multiple sources of information and the intelligence shared is not just restricted to signals intelligence, but also involves the mutual exchange of defence intelligence, security intelligence, and human intelligence.

In recent years, several security agencies of the FVEY countries have been accused of intentionally spying on one another's citizens and willingly sharing the collected information with each other, allegedly circumventing laws preventing each agency from spying on its own citizens.

1900-60
The history of domestic spying by an FVEY agency dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, with several notable FBI targets such as the physicist Albert Einstein, the First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the English comedian Charlie Chaplin, who was targeted British security agents acting on behalf of the FBI.

1960-present
By the early 1960s, FVEY surveillance was further expanded due to the involvement of other government agencies, with notable surveillance targets including South African President Nelson Mandela, the actress Jane Fonda, and Princess Diana, whose communications were monitored by the NSA and the GCHQ.
