'''All-American Council''' is name of the periodic general councils of the [[Orthodox Church in America]] (OCA). This title began with the granting, in 1970, of autocephaly to the former Russian Mission, which was commonly referred to as the [[Metropolia]]. The councils prior to autocephaly were called [[All-American Sobor]]s.
The first All-American Council, held on [[October 20]]-22, 1970 was also the last All-American Sobor, the fourteenth, after the [[diocese]] received the Tomos of [[autocephaly]] from the [[Church of Russia|Russian Moscow Patriarchate]]. The following is a list All-American councils since the first with notes of the principal activities during each:
