PBY Catalina Survivors identifies Catalinas on display, and includes aircraft designations, status, serial numbers, locations and additional information. The PBY Catalina was a twin-engined American flying boat of the 1930s and 1940s, designed by Consolidated Aircraft Co. Several variants were built at five US and Canadian manufacturing plants.

These complete examples of Catalina have been preserved or restored to various levels including markings, nose art, original or representative paint schemes, and are on display at museums or at military bases, or are active aircraft potentially viewable at air events.
By default, 5-digit numeric serials are as issued by the US Navy Bureau of Aeronautics (Bu.Aer), presented here without the imaginary "Bu." prefix. 4-digit serials in the form 9xxx, and 5-digit serials in the form 1xxxx are as issued to RCAF aircraft.
