List of bishops of St. Louis

The following is the list of bishops of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The Roman Catholic Church in the United States comprises 195 dioceses led by diocesan bishops. Auxiliary bishops serve in association with the diocesan bishops in larger dioceses. There are thirty-two ecclesiastical provinces, each headed by a metropolitan archbishop, of which the Archbishop of Saint Louis is one. As of November 2010, five of the metropolitan archbishops of this see have been designated cardinals: John Joseph Glennon (1946), Joseph Ritter (1961), John Carberry (1969) Justin Francis Rigali (2003; as archbishop of Philadelphia), and Raymond Leo Burke (2010; as prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura).

In addition to the 195 dioceses, there are several other dioceses in the nation's overseas dependencies. There are also dioceses and eparchies of the Eastern Catholic Churches. A special archdiocese was created by the Vatican for the United States military. Such bodies are also organized into metropolitan provinces of their own.

All bishops in the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands, diocesan and auxiliary, are members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Bishops in Puerto Rico form their own Episcopal Conference. Those from insular areas in the Pacific Ocean are members of the Episcopal Conference of the Pacific.
