Liste der römisch-katholischen Bischöfe in den Vereinigten Staaten
The following is the List of the Roman Catholic bishops of the United States. The Roman Catholic Church in the United States, informally known as the American Catholic Church, comprises 195 dioceses led by residential bishops. Auxiliary bishops serve in association with the residential bishops in larger dioceses. Dioceses led by archbishops are called archdioceses. There are thirty-two archbishops who serve as metropolitan bishops of their respective ecclesiastical provinces.
In addition to the 195 dioceses, there are several other dioceses in the nation's overseas dependencies. There are also dioceses and eparchies of the Eastern Rite. A special archdiocese was created by the Vatican for the United States military. Such bodies are also organized into metropolitan provinces of their own.
