The following is a List of Delaware hurricanes that affected the U.S. state of the same name. Since reliable records began, no tropical cyclone has struck the state while maintaining hurricane intensity, and only two storms since 1851 caused hurricane-force winds in the state. The state often experiences the direct effects of landfalling Atlantic tropical cyclones, such as rainfall or strong winds, as well as the effects of storms that remain offshore, such as rip currents or heavy surf. Since 1749, at least 96 tropical cyclones, some of which had become extratropical, have affected the state, including 21 which passed over the state.
