Three of those named have also been accused of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five have been accused of aggravated identity theft.
The charges were made by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating alleged Russian meddling.
Three Russian companies are also named in the indictment.
One of them is the Internet Research Agency, based in St Petersburg, which the 37-page indictment said "had a strategic goal to sow discord in the US political system, including the 2016 US presidential election".
Mr Trump was briefed on the indictment earlier on Friday, the White House said.
The president later tweeted that his campaign had done "nothing wrong" and again denied colluding with Russia.
He also appeared to acknowledge Russian election meddling - something which he has in the past cast doubt on despite US intelligence agency assessments.
