In Buddhism, the fruits of the noble path (Sanskrit: āryamārgaphala, Pali: ariyamaggaphala; Tibetan: ’phags lam gyi ’bras bu; Chinese: shengdaoguo 聖道果) are four stages on the path to full awakening (bodhi).

These four fruits or states are Sotāpanna (stream-enterer), Sakadāgāmi (once-returner), Anāgāmi (non-returner), and Arahant (conqueror, "worthy one"). The early Buddhist texts portray the Buddha as referring to people who are at one of these four states as "noble ones" (ārya, Pāli: ariya) and the community of such persons as the noble sangha.

The teaching of the four stages of awakening was important to the early Buddhist schools and remains so in the Theravada school. It is also included in the Mahayana teachings on the various paths to awakening. However, their teaching on the bodhisattva path relies on different stages of awakening, called bodhisattva stages, which are taught as an alternative path.

In the Early Buddhist Texts, several types of Buddhist practitioners are described, according to their level of attainment. Those with no attainments are called puthujjanas (Sanskrit: pṛthagjana), i.e. the unenlightened commoners or "worldly" people. Those who have reached certain levels of spiritual attainment, i.e. noble persons (ariya-puggala, aryas) are often categorized into a standard set of four ascending types, but there are also longer descriptions with more types.

The main four types are the Stream-enterer, Once-returner, Non-returner and the Arahant. Each class of noble person is defined according to which of the ten fetters they have eliminated from their mindstreams.
