Datganiad Annibyniaeth yr Unol Daleithiau

Datganiad a fawbysiadwyd gan y Gyngres Gyfandirol ar 4 Gorffennaf 1776 oedd Datganiad Annibyniaeth yr Unol Daleithiau (Saesneg: United States Declaration of Independence). Roedd yn egluro pam yr oedd Cyngres y 13eg talaith wedi pleidleisio ar 2 Gorffennaf i'w cyhoeddi eu hunain yn annibynnol oddi wrth Prydain Fawr. Dethlir 4 Gorffennaf, diwrnod mabwysiadu'r Datganiad, fel Diwrnod Annibyniaeth yr Unol Daleithiau.

Ysgrifennwyd y Datganiad yn bennaf gan Thomas Jefferson. Y rhan enwocaf yw'r rhagarweiniad:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
