Plaque commemorating Popes buried in St Peter's

This is a graphical list of the Popes of the Roman Catholic Church.

While the term Pope (Latin: Papa, 'Father') is used in several churches to denote their high spiritual leaders, in English usage, this title generally refers to the supreme head of the Roman Catholic Church and the Holy See. The title itself has been used officially by the head of the Church since the tenure of Pope Saint Siricius.

There have been 266 Popes, as listed by the Annuario Pontificio (Pontifical Yearbook) under the heading 'I Sommi Pontefici Romani' (The Supreme Pontiffs of Rome). Some sources quote a number of 267 Popes, with the inclusion of Stephen II, who died four days after his election but before his consecration. However, only 264 (or 265) men have occupied the chair of Saint Peter, as Benedict IX served thrice in the mid–11th century.

The Pope bears the titles

Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the Vatican City State, Servant of the Servants of God

and is officially styled 'His Holiness'.

Since the Lateran Treaty of 1929, the Pope's temporal title has been Sovereign of the Vatican City State.
