美国内阁(英語:Cabinet of the United States),通常称为总统内阁(President's Cabinet),是美国总统的主要咨询机构,由副总统、15个联邦行政部门的部长及若干内阁级官员组成。虽然总统是内阁会议的主持人,但他并不正式属于内阁成员。内阁的职能不在于集体决策,而是作为一组由总统指定的重要行政官员,为总统提供政策建议,并具体负责各自部门的日常管理。目前,美国内阁共有26名成员,包括副总统、15位内阁部长以及10位内阁级官员。内阁会议一般在白宫西翼椭圆形办公室附近的会议室(英语:Cabinet Room (White House))举行,成员按所属部门的设立先后顺序就座,成立时间最早的部门位置最靠近总统。
