How to find someone on LinkedIn by email
LinkedIn removed its own email search years ago. This lookup does the matching for you.
- 1
Paste the email address
Use the full address, such as jane@acme.com. Work emails match far more often than personal ones.
- 2
Run the lookup
We match the address against 690M+ professional profiles and return the LinkedIn profile linked to it.
- 3
Open the profile
Click the LinkedIn link to confirm the person and see their latest role before you reach out.
What the LinkedIn lookup by email returns
One email in, a professional profile out. The LinkedIn URL comes first, followed by the details that help you judge whether this is the right person.
If the person also has a phone number on file, it is shown too, so you can choose how to follow up.
- LinkedIn profile URL
- Full name, headline and job title
- Company, industry and size
- Location and seniority
- Phone number when we hold one
Which email addresses find a LinkedIn profile
| Email type | Example | Match rate |
|---|---|---|
| Work email | jane@acme.com | High. Tied to the person's current job on LinkedIn. |
| Old work email | jane@formerjob.com | Good. Often matches the same person with their new role. |
| Personal email | jane.cooper@gmail.com | Lower. Few people list personal addresses on professional profiles. |
| Role address | sales@acme.com | None. Shared inboxes do not belong to one person. Try company lookup. |

Is it allowed to find a LinkedIn profile from an email?
Yes, for business purposes. LinkedIn profiles are public professional pages, and matching a work email to one is a normal part of B2B research. Use what you find for professional contact only.
We do not show home addresses or personal background details, and anyone can remove their data from LeadCanal results on our data removal page.
Paste the email address into the lookup above and click Find LinkedIn profile. If the address matches a professional profile, you get the LinkedIn URL with the person's name, title and company.
Not any more. LinkedIn only lets you import your own contacts to find people you already know. A lookup tool like this one is the quickest way to match a single address.
Sometimes. Personal addresses match less often because people rarely tie them to a professional profile. Work emails give the best results.
