Is there a complete list of Catholic Saints somewhere online?

This is the most complete list of saints I have ever seen on the internet. The page I tagged will show all saints who have a feast day on January 1. You can start from here and search for saints by their feast days. Included in this website are Venerables.

Thanks @Nathaniel for the clue, I didn't think they had one page with all those Saints (it's not complete though).
List of Catholic saints (Wikipedia) yields:
Adalbert Albert Angilbert Fitzherbert Gualbert Heribert Imbert Norbert Radbert Robert
This will definitely help...
But there's an even better list of saints over at catholic.org
unfortunately I've got to screen scrap a bit more so I wrote a script
#!/bin/bash
for letter in {A..Z}
do
for number in {1..5}
do
curl -o $letter-$number -s http://www.catholic.org/saints/stindex.php?lst=$letter&page=$number
done
done
and grepping all that output yields:
Agilbert Aibert Albert Augebert Dagobert Eadbert Edbert Egbert Emebert Engelbert Erembert Ethelbert Floribert Fontcubert Frodobert Fulbert Fymbert Gamelbert Gaulbert Gilbert Godebert Gondebert Gosbert Gumbert Gundebert Herbert Heribert Hildebert Hubert Humbert Imbert Jambert Joubert Lambert Libert Madalbert Norbert Philibert Radbert Rambert Rembert Ribert Rigobert Ritbert Robert Suitbert Tilbert Ubert Walbert Waldebert Wigbert
But Cuthbert is still mysteriously missing.
Finally (hopefully, unless an online index is produced), Mr. Ken Graham has provided catholicsaints.info and screen-scraping that site with:
#!/bin/bash
for letter in {a..z}
do
curl -o "$letter-info" -s http://catholicsaints.info/saints-$letter/
done
and grepping it:
cat *-info | grep -o -e "[A-Za-z]*bert" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sort | uniq
provides:
adalbert agilbert aibert albert angilbert ansbert aribert aubert augebert austrebert autbert bert cuthbert dagobert dealbert eadbert edbert edilbert egbert ekbert emebert engelbert erembert ethelbert fitzherbert fridebert frithbert frodobert gamelbert garembert gilbert gobert godebert gosbert gualbert guibert gundebert herbert heribert hildebert hrodbert hubert hugbert humbert imbert jambert josbert lambert landebert libert madalbert norbert philibert radbert ragnobert rembert ribert rigobert rimbert robert sigebert simbert sintbert suidbert suitbert swidbert switbert swithbert trudbert ubert valbebert walembert wigbert

Looking myself for a complete list of Catholic Saints (including martyrs), I got access to a 1953's version of the Index Causarum Sanctorum ac Beatorum that Ken suggested, but I found that it is incomplete, as some saints are missing and the earlier saints are from the 16th century (Ken says a more recent version contains saints from the 12th century onward).
However, I found some earlier texts which do contain saints since the first century. These are actually rather "famous" books, as they are not only indexes but contain descriptions of the lives of saints too.
The first one and perhaps most complete is the Acta Santorum, a 68 volume compilation of saints! This is available online as PDF, and also as searchable text. The latter requires a subscription though (I got access through my university library, so confirm it works).
The second one is the The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs and Other Principal Saints, by Alban Butler. This is a 12 volume compilation that has been updated more recently. It is also available online, both as PDF and searchable text, including a list of all saints covered.
For example, looking at the last one, you get:
Adalbert
Adelbert
Aglibert
Albert
Ansbert
Aubert
Cuthbert
Eadbert
Ethelbert
Gilbert
Hubert
Humbert
John Gualbert
Lambert
Norbert
Radbert
Philibert
Rembert
Rigobert
Robert
Sigebert
Swibert or Swidbert
Wigbert

Is there a complete list of Catholic Saints somewhere online?
The Roman Martyrology is probably your best bet.
The following website is the most complete source of Catholic saints I know to exist: Catholic Saints Info. Not only is this site constantly being updated, but it also show the reader other sources of information, variations of saints' name, but it even shows particular (local) feasts of saints such as translations, if applicable.
The ultimate "List of Saints" from Rome can be found in this book which is published by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints: Index Causarum Sanctorum ac Beatorum. Unfortunately it exists only in book form and only very few Catholic libraries or Religious Institutions possess a copy. It gets updated every so often, but not yearly.
