Chargé d'affaires as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary

This is a list of ambassadors of the United States to Serbia. The United States established diplomatic relations with Serbia on November 10, 1882 when Eugene Schuyler was appointed resident U.S. Ambassador to Serbia, Romania and Greece, in Athens. The United States Embassy in Serbia is located in Belgrade. The Embassy has been overseen by interim chargé d'affaires Alexander Titolo since 2024. The U.S. ambassadorship to Serbia has been formally vacated since January 2025.

Some parts of today's Serbia had been under the occupation of the Ottoman Empire (from 1459 until 1804) while other parts were occupied by Habsburg monarchy (1526–1804), Austrian Empire (1804–1867), and Austria-Hungary (1867–1918). Upon regaining its independence (partial in 1804 and full in 1878), the Serbian state strengthened and expanded and was in 1918 the driving force behind the creation of Yugoslavia (the land of South Slavs, a multi-ethnic state that over the following seven decades experienced various models of governance). In 1992 Yugoslavia disintegrated, although two of its constituent units - Serbia and Montenegro - continued in the same federal state under the same name Yugoslavia until 2003, when they re-organized into Serbia and Montenegro. After the Montenegrin independence referendum in May 2006, Serbia, as the only remaining unit in the federation, restored its independence on 5 June 2006.

Since July 17, 1919, U.S. diplomatic missions were based in Yugoslavia and since May 1992 after the breakup of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Serbia – United States relations cooled off, were severed after the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. The U.S. Embassy formally reopened in Belgrade in May 2001.

Serbia and Montenegro
The United States announced in May 1992 that it would not recognize the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (comprising Serbia and Montenegro) as the successor to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and until 2000 used an appelation "Serbia-Montenegro" instead, when it switched to an appelation "Federal Republic of Yugoslavia". The FR Yugoslavia was reconstituted as the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2003, before its dissolution in 2006.
