This article is about the organization of U.S. Roman Catholic bishops. NCCB also stands for the Nevada County Concert Band.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is the official leadership body of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. Founded in 1966 as the joint National Conference of Catholic Bishops and United States Catholic Conference, it is composed of the American hierarchy of bishops, archbishops and cardinal archbishops. The USCCB adopted its current name in July 2001. The organization is a registered corporation based in Washington, DC. As with all bishops' conferences, certain decisions and acts of the USCCB must be approved by the Roman dicasteries, which are subject to the immediate and absolute authority of the Pope.
