The Catholic Church in the United States comprises ecclesiastical territories called dioceses, eparchies, and ordinariates led by prelate ordinaries known as bishops. Each bishop is assigned to a cathedral from which he is pastor to the people of his jurisdiction. Some dioceses also have a co-cathedral or a pro-cathedral. This is a complete list of the 193 cathedrals of the Latin Church and the 20 cathedrals of the Eastern Catholic Churches in the United States.[ citation needed ]

The following particular churches of various Eastern Rites are not suffragan to Metropolitan sees, but are instead exempt, i.e. immediately subject to the Holy See, while they remain part of their respective patriarchal, major archiepiscopal or other rite- & tradition-specific particular Churches.
Several Eastern Catholic Churches have jurisdictions that include members and congregations in both the United States and Canada.
