This page contains philatelic items marking Intelsat anniversaries (only, no satellites). Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes on the satellites featured are given when available. If readers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.

Intelsat anniversary items on this page do not depict any Intelsat (or other) satellites, and therefore do not appear on other pages. Additional Intelsat anniversary items appear on the Early Bird (Intelsat-1) and Intelsat-2, Intelsat-3, 4, 4A, and 6 series, and Intelsat-5, 7, and later series pages.

Intelsat anniversaries are counted from either of two starting years:
