To a very crude approximation, there are approximately 8.2 million
accounts which have at least one edit on English Wikipedia - at least
assuming my SQL query is correct!
http://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/1911
This is all user accounts with one or more edits in the contributions
record; it does not contain IPs, and it does not contain any accounts
whose sole contributions have since been deleted (which is probably
quite a substantial number). Conversely, it includes a vast panoply of
single-use vandalism accounts, sockpuppets, etc etc etc. And bots, of
course.

Is there a way to get counts for the number of
accounts, including or
excluding IPs, that have ever edited English Wikipedia, ? It would be
preferable to know the number of unique people, but of course that's
impossible.
Thanks,

Aha, that is important for me to know. Thanks Andrew.

No.
or just those who have registered and/or edited
on ENWP?
Registered, regardless of having edited.
James is of course correct, but one small caveat worth adding: because
of SUL, a substantial proportion of these will be "autocreated"
accounts from other projects - so even 'registration' may not mean
what it seems.
