List of American saints and beatified people

This list of American saints and beatified people includes not only saints of the Catholic Church but also those who are not yet recognized as saints but as beati, venerabili, servants of God or candidates for sainthood and who are significantly associated with what was either at the time, or subsequently became, the United States of America.

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, in Washington, D.C., is the largest Catholic church in the United States. A special hall in the crypt level of the Basilica contains statues of American saints.
For more information on the process of sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church, see Canonization.

Roman Catholicism in the United States started at the country's earliest history. Indeed, Columbus's expedition of 1492 included Catholic priests among the crew. Catholic missionaries were some of the first explorers in French North America and British North America in the east, and Spanish North America in the Southwestern United States.

Several American Catholics have been considered for sainthood over the past 500 years. Catholics continue to contribute to American religious life. Most of these Americans were born after 1850.
