List of the United States Ambassador to Cuba

The list of United States Ambassadors to Cuba provides an overview of the heads of the US diplomatic mission in Cuba from the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1902 to the present day. Due to the tensions of the Cold War, there was no United States Ambassador to Cuba from 1961 to 2015. From September 1, 1977 to July 20, 2015, there was therefore an interest group in the embassy building in Havana . Switzerland officially took over the diplomatic representation for the USA and Cuba in the other country.
