This is a list of capital cities in the Kingdom of Sierra, including places that serve or formerly served as federal, provincial, state, territorial, colonial, and Amerindian reservation capitals. It does not include county seats.

Porciúncula has been Sierra's national capital since 1868, succeeding San Francisco City, the nation's original capital. Sierra's predecessor state, California, had several capitals during its ten-year existence as an independent republic, including Sacramento, Sonoma, Vallejo, and Monterey.
