United Nations specialized agencies may or may not have been originally created by the United Nations, but they are incorporated into the United Nations System by the United Nations Economic and Social Council acting under Articles 57 and 63 of the United Nations Charter.

There are currently 15 specialized agencies of the UN, and there is one defunct specialized agency. For organizations of the United Nations that are not specialized agencies, see Category:Organizations established by the United Nations.
