Druid Spell List 5e
The druid spell list in the 2024 SRD 5.2 has 124 spells: 11 cantrips and 113 leveled spells from 1st to 9th level. Druids prepare spells from the whole list after each long rest, using Wisdom, and their strengths are area control, healing, summoning and nature magic.
Druids are prepared casters in both editions. After a long rest you pick your prepared spells from the full druid list; the 2014 rules use Wisdom modifier plus druid level, and the 2024 rules use a fixed number from the class table. Circle spells from your subclass are always prepared on top. In 2024, every druid also keeps Speak with Animals prepared for free.
At low levels druids win fights by shaping the ground. Entangle restrains everything in a 20-foot square on a failed Strength save. Healing Word and Goodberry cover healing. At 3rd level Spike Growth deals 2d4 piercing for every 5 feet a creature moves through it, and Moonbeam drops 2d10 radiant (11 on average) on whatever stands in it. At 5th level, Conjure Animals and Call Lightning become your big plays.
Watch the concentration load. Entangle, Spike Growth, Moonbeam and most summons all need concentration, and a druid in Wild Shape still loses the spell if they fail the save. Cast your control spell first, then shift or stay back; don't try to do both on the front line.

Druid spell list FAQ
How many spells are on the druid spell list in 5e?
The 2024 SRD 5.2 lists 124 druid spells: 11 cantrips and 113 spells of 1st to 9th level. Other books add more.
Can a druid cast spells in Wild Shape?
Not in beast form under the normal rules, though a druid can keep concentrating on a spell cast before shifting. At 18th level, Beast Spells lets a druid cast spells while in Wild Shape.
What is the best druid cantrip?
Shillelagh is strong for melee druids since it uses Wisdom for attacks and scales in 2024. For ranged damage, Produce Flame or Starry Wisp are the usual picks, and Guidance is the top utility cantrip.
Do druids have to pick the same spells every day?
No. Druids prepare spells from the whole druid list and can change the whole selection after every long rest.
