ISO 3166-2:US is the subset of the International Organization for Standardization sub-national region code standard ISO 3166-2 that pertains to the United States of America. It covers the 50 states, 1 federal district, 5 territories, and a collection of 9 minor outlying islands. The first part of the code is the 2-character ISO 3166-1 country code US and the second part of the code is the 2-character region code which is the same as the U.S. postal abbreviation (except UM.)

Each of the 5 U.S. territories and the collection of 9 U.S. minor outlying islands also have their own ISO 3166-1 country code. The 9 U.S. minor outlying islands also have their own 2-digit ISO 3166-2:UM region codes.
