中国古籍中记录了很多陨石坠落事件，提到陨石发现者人名的不多，《朔州志》里的“民人程演等”把发现陨石这个事情报告给了知州程端，《枣强县志》里的“村人陈仲、崔洪、岳本、张雨等寻获星石四”，虽有记载，已无陨石实物可考。
《朔州志》里记录的陨石记录，提到“民人程演等”把发现陨石这个事情报告给了知州程端《枣强县志》里记载的“村人陈仲、崔洪、岳本、张雨等寻获星石四”近现代陨石科学建立以后，随着陨石的科学研究，陨石的特征和分类逐渐清晰，世界各国有了一些陨石爱好者，其中一些人以寻找陨石为主要职业，叫做陨石猎人，另外一些人是在陨石坠落事件发生后偶然发现获得。
陨石发现者的增多，得益于陨石的科学研究和陨石知识的普及。
根据权威的国际陨石学会网站数据库，中国截至目前有387个陨石记录，这些陨石都是有实物对应的，并经科学家命名编号和分类。
