This list of Episcopal Academy people lists important faculty and alumni of Episcopal Academy, a co-educational school for grades Pre-K through 12 located in
Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

Stephen Decatur - naval Commander during the
First Barbary War,
Second Barbary War, and
War of 1812,[29] youngest man to reach the rank of Navy Captain; namesake of 5 Navy ships, 46 US towns and cities, three US schools, and one school in
Sigonella, Italy; the face on the 1886 Silver Certificate, equivalent to our $20 bill. Although tradition at Episcopal Academy continues to claim Decatur as an alumnus, even assigning him to the class of 1797,[30] no documentary evidence links him to the school.

Havana, serving 63 years became the U.S. Navy's first flag officer.
