List of The Smurfs characters
Wikimedia list article
This is a list of The Smurfs characters appearing in the original comics, the 1980s cartoon and the 2011 movie (as well as its sequels), and the 2021 reboot.
The Smurfs were also sold as collectible toys, and many of these characters were ideal from manufacturing and marketing points of view in that they had the same basic body plan but could be differentiated by one or two distinguishing accessories.
Number of Smurfs
According to Spirou magazine N° 1954 from 1964, there are 100 Smurfs in total; this does not take into account later additions from the Smurfs comic books and films.
Although the Smurfs were fairly undifferentiated in the beginning, over time, where the story required it, very specific Smurfs emerged. For example, the character Smurfette was introduced in the 1967 album The Smurfette and disappeared "definitely" again at the end of that story. Only after she was re-introduced in the 1981 TV series, Smurfette became a regular character and the main protagonist of the series.

Why this record matters
“List of The Smurfs characters” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, Smurfs and characters provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q457221. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2021, 1954 and 1964.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
