The following is a list of bishops of the Roman in the , including its five overseas dependencies. The U.S. Catholic Church comprises 177 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 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 are called archdioceses. In some cases, a titular is named diocesan bishop of a 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 (). Four other archdioceses have retired archbishops who are cardinals: (William Keeler), Detroit (), (), and ().

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.

In 1939, Pius XII canonically erected a military ordinariate for members of the Armed Forces of the United States serving domestically and abroad and their dependents. In 1985, Pope John Paul II elevated the ordinariate to the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA. The archdiocese serves members of and others employed by the United States military, the Veterans Health Administration and its patients, and Americans in government service overseas. The jurisdiction of the Archdiocese extends to any United States government property both in the United States and abroad, including all military installations and U.S. embassies, consulates and other diplomatic missions. The archbishop oversees bishops and priests working at military installations worldwide, and is assisted by auxiliary bishops.

The Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Province of is a sui iuris metropolia, traditionally linked to the Ruthenian Catholic Church. The metropolia consists of four eparchies of the Byzantine Ruthenian Catholic Church and covers the entire United States, with jurisdiction for all Ruthenian Catholics in the United States, as well as other Byzantine Rite Catholics without an established hierarchy in the country.

The Metropolitan Province of Agaña includes (1) the United States overseas dependencies of the Territory of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, (2) Wake Island, an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the U.S., and (3) the sovereign and independent nations of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. (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.)

^ On July 14, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI erected an apostolic exarchate (similar to an apostolic vicariate in the Latin Church)—the Syro-Malankara Catholic Exarchate in the United States—for Syro-Malankara Catholics in the United States. Although not the same as an eparchy, an exarchate is still led by a bishop.
