This is a list of '''notable [[Armenian-American]]s'''.
{{Americans}}

'''Armenian Americans''' are people born, raised, or who reside in the United States, with origins in the area known as Armenia, which ranges from the Caucasian mountain range to the Armenian plateau. There has been sporadic emigration from Armenia to the U.S. since the late 19th century, with the biggest influx coming after the [[Armenian Genocide]] of the early 20th century. The largest community is based in [[Los Angeles]], however other sizeable communities exist in [[Boston]], [[Detroit]] and the [[New York metropolitan area]].

Statistics from the [[United States 2000 Census]], 385,488 Americans indicated either full or partial Armenian ancestry.<ref>[http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/QTTable?_bm=y&-qr_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U_QTP13&-geo_id=01000US&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U&-_lang=en&-redoLog=false&-_sse=on U.S census Bureau ]</ref>

To be included in this list, the person must have a Wikipedia article showing they are Armenian American or must have references showing they are Armenian American and are notable.
<!--When adding names to the list, please include a reliable source that describes the person added as "Armenian" or "Armenian-American" (or a source where the person describes themselves as such), in accordance with Wikipedia's [[No Original Research]] policies.-->
<!--When adding names to the list, please include a reliable source that describes the person added as "Armenian" or "Armenian-American" (or a source where the person describes themselves as such), in accordance with Wikipedia's [[No Original Research]] policies.-->

<!--'''For inclusion to this list, each entry must be notable and have an article with references validating their Armenian-American ancestry. Keep blurbs short and do not include real name nor connection of Armenian ancestry as (1) anyone on this list should have valid link in their article showing how they are of Armenian ancestry; (2) their articles should discuss their body of work (films, television, literary works, etc.); and (3) their biographical information such as their real names.'''

In order to keep list concise, please list entry only '''ONCE''' in category where they have the most connection. -->
