This is a list of American slave traders working in Georgia and Florida from 1776 until 1865.
Note 1: The importation of slaves from overseas was prohibited by the Continental Congress during the American Revolutionary War but resumed locally afterwards, including through the port of Savannah, Georgia (until 1798).{{Cite web |last=Marques |first=Leonardo |title=The United States and the Transatlantic Slave Trade to the Americas, 1776–1867 |url=https://etd.library.emory.edu/concern/etds/bv73c055p?locale=fr |access-date=2024-01-08 |website=etd.library.emory.edu |page=44 |language=English |type=Dissertation later published by Yale UP}} Especially in the 1790s, slavers sailing out of Rhode Island would go directly to Africa and trade rum for captives and then sell them in either Cuba or Georgia, wherever the prices were better that season.{{Cite journal |last=Marques |first=Leonardo |date=2012 |title=Slave Trading in a New World: The Strategies of North American Slave Traders in the Age of Abolition |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41478768 |journal=Journal of the Early Republic |volume=32 |issue=2 |pages=233–260 |issn=0275-1275}}
Note 2: It was technically illegal to import slaves into Georgia from other states from 1788 until the law was repealed in 1856,{{Cite web |title=Slave Laws of Georgia, 1755–1860 |url=https://www.georgiaarchives.org/assets/documents/Slave_Laws_of_Georgia_1755-1860.pdf |access-date=2023-07-18 |website=georgiaarchives.org}} but there was no law prohibiting the sale of slaves just across the border in the lands of the Cherokee Nation in what became the northwest quadrant of the state after Indian Removal, or across the Savannah River in Hamburg, South Carolina, maybe across the Chattahoochee River from Columbus in Alabama, or perhaps in Tallahassee in the Florida Territory.
