List of things named after Ronald Reagan

This is a list of things named after former President of the United States Ronald Reagan. The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project is an organization that seeks to name at least one notable public landmark in each U.S. state and all 3067 counties after the 40th president. The project has begun to meet some resistance in recent years after its proposal to place Reagan on the $10 bill, prompting one opponent to suggest that the U.S. national debt should be named for him.
