This is a list of American composers, alphabetically sorted by surname. It is by no means complete. It is not limited by classifications such as genre or time period—however, it includes only music composers of significant fame, notability or importance. Some further composers are included in Category:American composers.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
