This following is a list, by episode, of one-time fictional characters from the American animated television comedy series The Simpsons. For main and recurring characters, see List of characters from The Simpsons or List of recurring characters from The Simpsons.

Some of these 'one-time' characters have returned to the show, sometimes in just brief speaking appearances, or even just 'in the crowd' scenes. Other characters, originally intended to be 'one-time' characters have ended up becoming regular cast members, such as Cletus Spuckler, Luigi Risotto, Disco Stu, Groundskeeper Willie, Cookie Kwan & Lindsey Naegle.

For purposes of this list, "one-time" means they were central to an episode one time. Some of the characters listed here have appeared in later episodes, but only briefly. The characters are sorted by episode.
