List of Episcopal bishops (U.S.)

This list consists of the bishops in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, a province of the Anglican Communion. This shows the historic succession of the episcopate within this denomination.

Key to chart

The number references the sequence of consecration. Greek letters reference bishops consecrated for missionary work outside of the United States:
* α = Haiti
* β = Mexico
* γ = Brazil
* δ = Puerto Rico

"Diocese" refers to the diocese for which the individual was ordained. Note, this does not mean it was the only diocese that bishop presided over. For example, the Diocese of Delaware was under the supervision of the Diocese of Pennsylvania under Bishop William White.

"PB" refers to whether the bishop became a presiding bishop in the church (The number is the sequence).

Under consecrators, one finds numbers (or letters) referencing previous bishops on the list. If a series of letters is under "Consecrators," then the consecrators were bishops/archbishops from a non-American source:
