Abstract: Let $X$ be a character table of the symmetric group $S_n$. It is shown that unless $n=4$ or $n=6$, there is a unique way to assign partitions of $n$ to the rows and columns of $X$ so that for all $lambda$ and $u$, $X_{lambdau}$ is equal to $ch{i}^{l}ambda(u)$, the value of the irreducible character of $S_n$ labelled by $lambda$ on elements of cycle type $u$. Analogous results are proved for alternating groups, and for the Brauer character tables of symmetric and alternating groups.
