Der '''United States Postmaster General''' steht der [[United States Postal Service|amerikanischen Bundespost]] vor.

Ab 1792 hatte dieses Amt Ministerrang; der ''Postmaster General'' war Mitglied der Bundesregierung. Mit dem Postal Reorganization Act 1971 wurde seine Bundesbehörde, das ''United States Post Office Department'', abgeschafft und in die [[Unabhängige Behörden der Vereinigten Staaten|unabhängige Bundesbehörde]] [[United States Postal Service]] überführt.
