Samoa-United States relations are bilateral relations between Samoa and the United States.
Since 1967, the United States has supported a substantial Peace Corps program in Samoa. Over 1,700 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in Samoa over that time, with 51 Volunteers currently in-country. Peace Corps programs emphasize village-based development and capacity building. Other forms of U.S. assistance to Samoa are limited. The U.S. Embassy, staffed by a single officer, is the smallest Embassy in Samoa and one of the few one-officer U.S. Embassies in the world.
Principal U.S. Officials include Ambassador William P. McCormick (accredited to both New Zealand and Samoa; resident in Wellington) and Charge d'Affaires George W. Colvin Jr.
