The following is a list of notable traditional gentlemen's clubs in the United States, including those that are now defunct. Historically, these clubs were exclusively for men, but most in the United States now admit women.

The traditional gentlemen's club originated in London (in particular the St. James's area) in the 18th century as a successor to coffeehouses. Today, these clubs also continue to operate in the United States, where most major cities have at least one such club. Notable traditional gentlemen's clubs are most prevalent, however, in older cities, especially those on the East Coast. As detailed below, the only American cities with five or more such clubs are Atlanta,Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. New York City contains more than any other American city. Throughout the country, though, many clubs have reciprocal relationships with the older clubs in London, with each other, and with other gentlemen's clubs around the world.

Because the term "gentlemen's club" often is used to refer euphemistically to strip clubs, in the United States traditional gentlemen's clubs often are referred to as "men's clubs" or "city clubs" (as opposed to country clubs) or simply as "private clubs".
