List of sovereign states and dependent territories in the Americas

This is an alphabetical list of sovereign states and dependent territories in the Americas. The Americas (also known as America or the 'New World') are the landmasses of North America and South America, collectively sometimes considered a single continent. The Americas are almost entirely located in the Western Hemisphere, with some of the north-west islands of Alaska entering the Eastern Hemisphere. The majority of islands lying in the Atlantic between the Americas and Afroeurasia, such as Iceland, are not normally associated with the Americas and are therefore excluded from this list.

Sovereign states

The following is a list of sovereign states in the Americas. All are members of the United Nations and the Organization of American States, although Honduras has been suspended from the latter.

Other territories

The territories on this list are not sovereign states. This includes dependent territories of American countries listed above, or are territories that are either part of or subject to a non-American country.
