In addition, from 1814 to 1905 the United States Chief of Mission in Sweden also represented United States interest with respect to Norway; as the latter was during that period of time aligned with Sweden, for purposes of foreign relations, in the Union between Sweden and Norway.

The current acting Ambassador is David Lindwall, who assumed his duties in 2017.
