Spanish Americans are European Americans who claim "Spanish" or "Spaniard" as their ethnic ancestry e.g.: Martin Sheen.
People who have predominantly Spanish (European) ancestry are also included in this list. There are also many people in the United States of another Hispanic "national" origin, (e.g.: Cuban Americans, Mexican Americans and Puerto Rican Americans) or Filipinos (that until 1898 was a Spanish colony), who ultimately trace all of their heritage back to Spain and form part of the ethnic "Spanish"-American population, e.g.: Andy García. The list also includes many settlers and descendants of Spanish settlers who lived in the Spanish colonies south of the current U.S. when those territories were incorporated into U.S. and to his inhabitants were given the U.S. citizenship (Louisiana is incorporated in 1803, Florida in 1819, and the Southwest was incorporated in 1848).
Thus, this is a list of 'notable Spanish Americans', including original immigrants and setlers of South from United States who obtained American citizenship and their American descendants.
This list is ordered by surname within section.
To be included in this list, the person must have a Wikipedia article showing they are Spanish American or must have references showing they are Spanish American and are notable.
