This chronological list of the [[pope]]s of the [[Catholic Church]] corresponds to that given in the {{lang|it|[[Annuario Pontificio]]}} under the heading "{{lang|it|I Sommi Pontefici Romani|italics=no}}" (The Roman Supreme Pontiffs), excluding those that are explicitly indicated as [[antipope]]s. Published every year by the [[Roman Curia]], the {{lang|it|Annuario Pontificio}} no longer [[#Numbering of popes|identifies popes by regnal number]], stating that it is impossible to decide which pope represented the legitimate succession at various times.<ref>''Annuario Pontificio'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2012 {{ISBN|978-88-209-8722-0}}), p. 12</ref> The 2001 edition of the {{lang|it|Annuario Pontificio}} introduced "almost 200 corrections to its existing biographies of the popes, from St Peter to John Paul II". The corrections concerned dates, especially in the first two centuries, birthplaces and the family name of one pope.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.zenit.org/article-1597?l=english |title=Corrections Made to Official List of Popes |access-date=21 October 2008 |publisher=ZENIT |date=5 June 2001 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090119001522/http://www.zenit.org/article-1597?l=english |archive-date=19 January 2009}}</ref>

The term ''[[Pope (word)|pope]]'' ({{langx|la|text=papa|translation=father}}) is used in several churches to denote their high spiritual leaders (for example [[Coptic pope]]). This title is usually used in English to refer to the head of the Catholic Church. The Catholic pope uses various titles by tradition, including {{lang|la|[[Summus Pontifex]]}}, {{lang|la|[[Pontifex Maximus]]}}, and {{lang|la|[[Servus servorum Dei]]}}. Each title has been added by unique historical events, and unlike other papal prerogatives, is not incapable of modification.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12260a.htm#V |title=Papal Primacy of honour: titles and insignia |publisher=Newadvent.org |date=1 June 1911 |access-date=23 February 2013 |archive-date=31 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180531055429/http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12260a.htm#V |url-status=live}}</ref>

[[Hermannus Contractus]] may have been the first historian to number the popes continuously. His list ends in 1049 with [[Leo IX]] as number 154. Several changes were made to the list during the 20th century. [[Antipope Christopher|Christopher]] was considered a legitimate pope for a long time but was removed due to how he obtained the papacy. [[Pope-elect Stephen]] was listed as Stephen II until the 1961 edition, when his name was removed. The decisions of the [[Council of Pisa]] (1409) were reversed in 1963 in a reinterpretation of the [[Western Schism]], extending [[Gregory XII]]'s pontificate to 1415 and classifying rival claimants [[Antipope Alexander V|Alexander V]] and [[Antipope John XXIII|John XXIII]] as antipopes.

A significant number of these popes have been recognized as [[saint]]s, including 48 out of the first 50 consecutive popes, and others are in the sainthood process. Of the first 31 popes, 28 died as [[Christian martyr|martyr]]s.

=== 1st millennium ===
==== 1st century ====
The chronology of the early popes is heavily disputed. The first ancient lists of popes were not written until the late 2nd century, after the monarchical episcopate had already developed in Rome. These first lists combined contradictory traditions, and even the succession of the first popes is disputed. The first certain dates are AD 222 and 235, the elections of [[Pope Urban I|Urban I]] and [[Pope Liberius|Liberius]]. The years given for the first 30 popes follow the work of [[Richard Adelbert Lipsius]], which often show a 3-year difference with the traditional dates given by [[Eusebius of Caesarea]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lipsius |first=Richard Adelbert |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jnVKgrFFMN8C&pg=PA263 |title=Chronologie der römischen Bischöfe bis zur Mitte des vierten Jahrhunderts |date=1869 |language=de |trans-title=Chronology of the Roman bishops until the middle of the fourth century |location=[[Kiel]] |publisher=Schwersche Buchhandlung |archive-date=22 July 2024 |access-date=22 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240722224604/https://books.google.com/books?id=jnVKgrFFMN8C&pg=PA263 |url-status=live }}</ref> These are also the dates used by the ''[[Catholic Encyclopedia]]''.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm The List of Popes] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120509181105/http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm |date=9 May 2012 }}.

Subject of the [[Prince-Bishopric of Utrecht|Bishopric of Utrecht]]. The only [[Dutch people|Dutch]] pope; last non-Italian to be elected pope until [[Pope John Paul II|John Paul II]] in 1978. Tutor of Emperor [[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles V]]. Came to the papacy in the midst of one of its greatest crises, threatened not only by Lutheranism to the north, but also by the advance of the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman Turks]] to the east. He refused to compromise with Lutheranism theologically, demanding Martin Luther's condemnation as a heretic. However, he is noted for his attempt to reform the Catholic Church administratively in response to the Protestant Reformation. Adrian VI's remarkable admission that the turmoil of the Church was the fault of the [[Roman Curia]] itself was read at the 1522–1523 Diet of Nuremberg.

His efforts at reform, however, proved fruitless, as they were resisted by most of his [[Renaissance]] ecclesiastical contemporaries, and he did not live long enough to see his efforts through to their conclusion.

== Numbering of popes ==
[[Regnal number]]s follow the usual convention for European monarchs. The first pope who chooses a unique name is not usually identified by an ordinal, [[Pope John Paul I|John Paul I]] being the exception. Antipopes are treated as [[pretender]]s, and their numbers are reused by those considered to be legitimate popes. However, there are anomalies in the numbering of the popes. Several numbers were mistakenly increased in the Middle Ages because the records were misunderstood. Several antipopes were also kept in the sequence, either by mistake or because they were previously considered to be true popes.<ref>Louis Duchesne, "Le nombre des papes", in: [https://books.google.com/books?id=7bkKCCs&pg=PA3 ''Miscellanea di storia ecclesiastica e studi ausiliare''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240310122949/https://books.google.com/?pg=PA3&hl=en |date=10 March 2024 }} Vol. 2 (Roma: 1903–1904), pp. 3–7.</ref>

* Alexander: [[Antipope Alexander V]] (1409–1410) was listed in the ''Annuario Pontificio'' as a legitimate pope until the 20th century,<ref name="annuario1942_pisa">{{cite book |title=Annuario pontificio per l'anno 1942 |date=1942 |location=Rome |page=21 |quote=205.

Giovanni XXII o XXIII o XXIV, Napoletano, Cossa (c. 1410, cessò dal pontificare 29 mag. 1415}}</ref> when the Pisan popes were reclassified as antipopes. There had already been three more Alexanders by then, so there is now a gap in the numbering sequence.
* Benedict: [[Antipope Benedict X]] (1058–1059) was kept in the numbering sequence.<ref name="ceanti">{{CathEncy|author=Paschal Robinson|wstitle=Antipope}}</ref>
* Boniface: [[Antipope Boniface VII]] (974 and 984–985) was kept in the numbering sequence.<ref name="ceanti" />
* Donus: The name has only been used by one pope. The apocryphal [[Pope Donus II]] resulted from confusion between the Latin word ''dominus'' (lord) and the name Donus.
* Felix: [[Antipope Felix II]] (356–357) was kept in the numbering sequence.<ref name="ceanti" />
* John: The [[Pope John numbering|numbering of the Popes John]] is particularly confused. In the modern sequence, they are identified by the numbers they used during their reigns.
** [[Antipope John XVI]] (997–998) was kept in the numbering sequence.<ref name="ceanti" />
** [[Pope John XXI]] (1276–1277) chose to skip the number XX, believing that there had been another Pope John between XIV and XV. In reality, John XIV had been counted twice.<ref name="cechron">{{CathEncy|author=Paschal Robinson|wstitle=Chronological Lists of Popes}}</ref>
** By the 16th century, the numbering error had been conflated with legends about a female [[Pope Joan]], whom some authors called John VIII. She was never listed in the ''Annuario Pontificio''.<ref name="ceJoan">{{CathEncy|author=Paschal Robinson|wstitle=Popess Joan}}</ref>
** [[Antipope John XXIII]] (1410–1415) was listed in the ''Annuario Pontificio'' as a legitimate pope until the 20th century.<ref name="annuario1942_pisa" /> After the Pisan popes were classified as antipopes, [[Pope John XXIII]] (1958–1963) chose to reuse the number, citing "twenty-two [sic] Johns of indisputable legitimacy".<ref>{{cite magazine |title=I Choose John ... |url=http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,938062,00.html |magazine=Time |date=10 November 1958 |page=91 |access-date=5 April 2020 |archive-date=24 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221124102923/http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,938062,00.html |url-status=live}}</ref>
* Martin: [[Pope Martin I]] (649–655) is followed by [[Martin IV]] (1281–1285). Due to the similarity between the Latin names ''Marinus'' and ''Martinus'', [[Pope Marinus I|Marinus&nbsp;I]] and [[Pope Marinus II|Marinus&nbsp;II]] were mistakenly considered to be Martin II and III.<ref name="cemartin">{{CathEncy|author=Paschal Robinson|wstitle=Pope Martin IV}}</ref>
* Stephen: [[Pope-elect Stephen]] (752) died before being consecrated. He was previously known as Stephen II, but the Vatican removed him from the official list of popes in 1961.<ref name="cechron" /> The remaining Stephens are now numbered [[Pope Stephen II]] (752–757) to [[Pope Stephen IX]] (1057–1058).
