List of people beatified by Pope Francis

From his election in 2013 until his death in 2025, Pope Francis authorized the beatification of 1,541 people, including three equipollent beatifications.

The pope has continued the practice of having beatifications celebrated in the place of the individual's origin, although he has presided over beatifications himself on three occasions: for Paul Yun Ji-Chung and 123 companions, for his predecessor Pope Paul VI, and for two Colombian martyrs.^[1][2][3]
