This is a list of notable people who have or had motor neuron disease, a group of rare neurodegenerative disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells which control voluntary muscles of the body. This includes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), progressive bulbar palsy (PBP), pseudobulbar palsy, progressive muscular atrophy (PMA), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and monomelic amyotrophy (MMA), as well as some rarer variants resembling ALS.

Living[]

NFL football player Steve Gleason chronicled his experiences with ALS in the documentary Gleason. He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his contributions to ALS awareness.

Deceased[]

Public awareness of the disease gained prominence upon the diagnosis of baseball player Lou Gehrig, whose name would become an alternative title for the disease.
Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, whose ALS was diagnosed in 1963, had the disease for 55 years, the longest recorded time. He died at the age of 76 in 2018.
Chairman Mao Zedong was reported to have been suffering from ALS.
