The Uniforms of the Continental military forces of the American Revolution were the uniforms used by the Continental Army and Navy during the American Revolution, from 1775 to 1783. The uniform varied greatly due to a variety of reasons, such as location, limitations on the supply of cloth and other materials, and the cost of materials during the war.

Depending on location Continental forces were often poorly supplied with uniforms, especially early in the conflict. Servicemen sometimes wore combinations of uniform pieces, also wearing items of personal clothing. They sometimes went without shoes altogether, as many did during the Winter at Valley Forge. Many of the thirteen colonies had their own style and were unique from those uniforms of the other colonies.
