Each diocese is led by a bishop. In the United States, all archbishops (except one) are provincial metropolitans. Each color represents one of the 32 Latin Church provinces.

The following is a list of bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States, including its five overseas dependencies. The U.S. Catholic Church comprises 177 Latin Church dioceses and 17 Eastern Catholic eparchies led by diocesan bishops or eparchs, and an apostolic exarchate,[1] the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, and the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter; the Personal Ordinary—though not a bishop—is the equivalent of a diocesan bishop in canon law.[2][3]

Dioceses led by archbishops are called archdioceses. In some cases, a titular archbishop is named diocesan bishop of a diocese that is not a metropolitan archdiocese, for example, Archbishop Celestine Damiano, Bishop of Camden (New Jersey). In most archdioceses and some large dioceses, one or more auxiliary bishops serve in association with the diocesan bishop. There are 32 Latin Church and two Eastern Catholic archbishops who serve as metropolitan archbishops of their respective Latin Church ecclesiastical provinces or Eastern Catholic metropoliae. (One archbishop—that of the Archdiocese for the Military Services—is not a metropolitan.) As of February 2012, five of these metropolitans are cardinals of the Catholic Church: Boston (Seán O'Malley), Chicago (Francis George), Galveston-Houston (Daniel DiNardo), New York (Timothy Dolan), and Washington (Donald Wuerl). Four other archdioceses have retired archbishops who are cardinals: Baltimore (William Keeler), Detroit (Adam Maida), Los Angeles (Roger Mahony), and Philadelphia (Justin Rigali).

All active and retired bishops in the United States and the Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands—diocesan, coadjutor, and auxiliary—are members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).

In addition to the 195 dioceses, one exarchate, and one personal ordinariate, there are several dioceses in the nation's other four overseas dependencies. In the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the bishops in the six dioceses (one metropolitan archdiocese and five suffragan dioceses) form their own episcopal conference, the Conferencia Episcopal Puertorriqueña.[4][5] The bishops in U.S. insular areas in the Pacific Ocean—the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of American Samoa, and the Territory of Guam—are members of the Episcopal Conference of the Pacific.
