This article contains a complete list of Michelin-starred restaurants in Washington, D.C.. The Washington, D.C. guide started in 2017, and is the first US Michelin Guide released in a new region since the Chicago guide in 2011.^[1] It is the fourth US guide after New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago. Although originally stating that all restaurants would be within the city limits, Michelin awarded stars to The Inn at Little Washington, which is in Virginia.^[2]

As of the 2023 guide, there are 25 restaurants in the DC-area with a Michelin-star rating, a rating system used by the Michelin Guide to grade restaurants based on their quality.
