List of ambassadors appointed by Joe Biden

This is a list of United States ambassadors appointed by the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden.

Biden appointed more ambassadors who are career members of the foreign service compared to former president Donald Trump, who deviated from the 70 percent norm by nominating 56 percent career foreign service members. He was expected to make appointments who would restore America's diplomatic standing after the Trump administration, which included several major campaign donors who were not well received in their host countries. Among the political appointees, more are expected to be policy experts and politicians rather than campaign bundlers.

Color key Confirmed appointees who are political appointees (rather than career foreign service officers) Confirmed appointees who are Career Members of the Senior Executive Service or Senior Foreign Service.
