Lijst van Amerikaanse politieke partijen

In de Verenigde Staten van Amerika beheersen sinds het midden van de negentiende eeuw twee partijen het politieke leven: de Democratische Partij en de Republikeinse Partij. Echter, de Verenigde Staten kent ook vele zogenaamde derde partijen en overige kleinere partijen. De derde partijen onderscheiden zich van de kleinere partijen omdat zij bij de presidentsverkiezingen in genoeg staten op het stembiljet staan om theoretisch te kunnen winnen. Op lokaal niveau weten deze partijen soms kandidaten verkozen te krijgen.
