L-Ameridelphia huwa superordni ta' mammiferi marsupjali, fil-klassi Mammalia, fis-sottoklassi Theria, fl-infraklassi Metatheria, b' 2 ordnijiet (Paucituberculata u Didelphimorphia). Dan is-superordni flimkien ma' l-Australidelphia jiffurmaw l-infraklassi Metatheria.
L-Ameridelphia jinkludi fiħ il-marsupjali kollha taż-2 kontinenti Amerikani, minbarra il-marsupjal kolokolo jew monito del monte Dromiciops gliroides, li għalkemm huwa mifrux mal-kontinent ta' l-Amerika t'isfel jifforma parti mas-superordni Australidelphia.
