The United States ambassador to North Macedonia is the official representative of the president of the United States to the head of state of North Macedonia.

The Ambassador, based out of Skopje, works with the rest of the embassy – 70 other Americans and nearly 240 locals – to advance bilateral relations, support North Macedonia's efforts to improve its economy, care for democracy in North Macedonia and strengthen its judicial and law enforcement capacities in fighting corruption, human trafficking and organised crime.

The United States established a liaison office in what was then the Republic of Macedonia in Skopje on December 3, 1993 with Victor D. Comras appointed soon after as Charge and U.S. chief of Mission with the equivalent rank of Ambassador. The U.S. formally recognized Macedonia as an independent state on February 9, 1994.
