List of people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award

Twelve people and five media franchises have won all four major annual American entertainment awards in a competitive, individual (non-group) category of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards. Respectively, these awards honor outstanding achievements in television, recording, film, and theater. Winning all four awards has been referred to as winning the "grand slam" of American show business. The acronym EGOT was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas.

To date, twelve individuals have won all four awards in competitive categories.

^3 The artist also earned the Triple Crown of Acting,with singular (non-group/ensemble/company) acting wins in the Emmy, Oscar and Tony awards.

Six other artists – Liza Minnelli, James Earl Jones, Barbra Streisand, Alan Menken, Harry Belafonte and Quincy Jones – have also received all four awards, even though at least one of the awards was non-competitive, i.e. special or honorary in nature (Streisand's Tony, both of Jones' Oscars, Minnelli's Grammy, Menken's Emmy and Belafonte's Oscar).

The following are the six artists who also have won the four major awards but not exclusively in the main competitive categories.

Richard Rodgers (1902–1979), a composer, received his fourth distinct award in 1962. Between 1945 and 1979, Rodgers received a total of 13 awards.
