The period of clipper ships lasted from the early 1840s to the early 1890s, and over time features such as the hull evolved from wooden to composite. At the 'crest of the clipper wave' year of 1852, there were 200 clippers rounding Cape Horn. Speedy contemporary vessels with other sail plans, such as barques, were also sometimes called clippers. Likewise, Baltimore clipper is a colloquial term most commonly applied to two masted schooners and brigantines. The "Baltimore clipper" was actually invented before the appearance of clipper ships. On the other end of the timeline are iron hulled sailing ships which differ from clipper ships. The only iron hulled examples present on this list are labeled as clippers by reliable sources.

The list is presented first by year of launch and then alphabetically within each year.
