This article provides a list of all Skyrim NPCs who die because of a scripted death at some point in the game. A scripted death is one where a game script forcibly kills the character, no matter what choice the player makes. Scripted deaths are usually caused by a quest. Essential NPCs are not immune to scripted deaths, though their essential status must be removed before the death script takes place.

Note that all NPCs die at some point during the listed quest unless stated.
