List of ambassadors of Serbia to the United States

The Ambassador of Serbia to the United States is the official diplomatic representative of the Republic of Serbia to the United States. The ambassador leads the Serbian diplomatic mission and is responsible for managing and strengthening the bilateral relations between the two countries.

The diplomatic mission was first established in 1917 during the Kingdom of Serbia period. The role has continued through various political transformations, including the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later renamed to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia), the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (later renamed to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (later renamed to the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro), and the modern Republic of Serbia.

Throughout the 20th century, the post evolved from envoys to fully accredited ambassadors, mirroring the development of modern diplomatic protocols. Notably, during the 1990s, diplomatic representation was limited or suspended due to interruptions in diplomatic relations between Serbia and the United States at the time.
