This is a list of the Loyalist Space Marine Chapters that have been named by Games Workshop in official texts, and does not include any "home grown" chapters.

After the Horus Heresy, the loyal Space Marine Legions were split into smaller Chapters of a thousand Space Marines each in order to prevent any one person from being able to control so many troops ever again. Over time, the number of chapters has grown, and is said to number around a thousand at the time of the 41st Millenium. This list includes approx 250 Loyal Chapters (discounting destroyed or missing chapters) which leaves roughly another 750 unnamed.

It should also be noted that some Chapters have changed their names during their history and may be represented on this list more than once under different titles.

Some Chapters have been declared as renegades from the Imperium, although many of these groups still consider themselves as being loyal. These forces can be found here -
