This is a list of solar eclipses visible from the United States between 1901 and 2100. All eclipses whose path of totality or annularity passes through the land territory of the current fifty U.S. states and the District of Columbia are included. All types of solar eclipses, whether recent, upcoming, or in the past, are also included.
Of these, two annular and three total eclipses were non-central, [1] in the sense that the very center (axis) of the Moon's shadow will miss the Earth (for more information see gamma). [2] In the 20th century, the greatest number of eclipses in one year is five, in 1935, though the years 1917, 1946, 1964, 1982 and 2000 had four eclipses each.

The number of the saros series that the eclipse belongs to is given, followed by the type of the eclipse (either total, annular, partial or hybrid), the gamma of the eclipse (how centrally the shadow of the Moon strikes the Earth), and the magnitude of the eclipse (the fraction of the Sun's diameter obscured by the Moon). For total and annular ...
