Countries and Capitals of the Americas
Selected countries and capitals in North and South America.
The 35 sovereign states of North America, Central America, the Caribbean and South America with their capital cities. Countries whose seat of government differs from their constitutional capital are annotated.
Use it when
- You need a country's capital in the Americas, or a complete list for validation.
- You are building a quiz, a form dropdown or a geographic lookup.
Watch out for
- Bolivia has two capitals (Sucre constitutional, La Paz seat of government), and the entry lists both.
- Dependent territories such as Puerto Rico, Greenland and the Falkland Islands are not sovereign states and are not listed.
