Coats of arms of US Infantry Regiments are heraldic emblems associated with infantry regiments in the US Army. By Army regulation, all regiments of the US Army organized under a Table of Organization and Equipment are authorized a Coat of Arms to be displayed on the organization's standard, called the "colors." This coat of arms also forms the basis for the unit's "Distinctive Unit Insignia", the emblem worn by all members of the unit on their service uniforms.[1]

The coats of arms for infantry units normally incorporate the color blue, which has been the traditional color of the Infantry Branch in the US Army since 1851.[2] Below are galleries of the heraldic emblems of US Army Infantry, Ranger, and Special Operations Forces.
