Archangels are a bigger, stronger form of angel and usually their direct commanders, though they do themselves often tend to serve various gods as trusted, high-level servants. They are essentially the goodly equivalent of Demon Princes and Archdevils.

D&D

In Dungeons & Dragons, there are several groups of exalted celestial paragon who are functionally archangels, even if the name itself is never used in D&D canon - they tend to prefer the term "Celestial Paragons". The most recent description of all of these can be found in the splatbook Book of Exalted Deeds for Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, where they are divided into several sub-groups.

The Celestial Hebdomad is a collective of seven lordly Archons who serve the cause of righteousness from their home on Celestia - these are the closest of the Paragons to "traditional" archangels.

• Barachiel, the messenger: Ruler of Lunia and coordinator of Celestia's defenses should it be attacked.
• Domiel, the Mercy-Bringer: Ruler of Mercuria.
• Erathaol, the Seer: Ruler of Venya and patron of seers and prophets.
• Pistis Sophia, the Ascetic: Ruler of Solania.
• Raziel, the Crusader: Ruler of Mertion and patron of paladins.
• Sealtiel, the Defender: Ruler of Jovar, charged with preventing incursions into Chronias and defending against the machinations of fiends. Patron of warden archons.
• Zaphkiel, the Watcher: Ruler of Chronias and leader of the Hebdomad. Only gods and the Hebdomad have seen him without either perishing or being absorbed into the essence of the mountain.

The Six Companions (technically Talisid and the Five Companions) are the leaders of the Guardinal races.

• Talisid, the Celestial Lion: Leader of the companions for several millenia, most powerful of the leonals.
• Sathia, the Sky Duchess: Representative of the avorals and patron of sculptors and painters.
• Manath, the Horned Duke: Representative of the cervidals and newest member of the Companions.
• Vhara, Duchess of the Fields: Representative of the equinals.
• Kharash, the Stalker: Paragon of lupinals and Talisid's best friend.
• Bharrai, the Great Bear: Matriarch of the ursinals and teacher of magic.

The Court of Stars is the smallest of the archangel groups, and represents the three leaders of the Eladrin race in the Great Wheel cosmology:

• Morwel: Queen of the Eladrin
• Faerinaal, The Queen's Consort: Master politician and shrewd judge of character. Tasked with defending the Court of Stars and rescuing captured eladrins as well as providing company and counsel to the queen.
• Gwynharwyf, The Whirling Fury: Patron of barbarians, when not leading good-aligned barbarian hordes against evil she also acts as consort to the queen.

At the pinnacle of the Aasimon races sit the Solars, which are rumoured to only number 24. While most of them haven't been named in official sources, some of them are reputed to serve good deities, have been corrupted, or simply vibe:

• Eco: Guards the prison of Desayeus in Pandemonium.
• Felarathael: One of the twin messengers of Corellon Larethian. They're the rational one.
• Gabriel: A servitor of Bahamut, he got captured and tortured by the forces of Orcus until he was freed by adventurers.
• Lashrael: The other messenger of Corellon. They're the emotional one.
• Malkizid, the Fallen: A former servant of Corellon who got the boot after assisting in Lolth's betrayal, probably because he had hella solars lying around and decided it was spring cleaning time. He just kind of bounces between fiendish factions in the lower planes.
• Viryn: In service to Tyr.
• Zariel: A fallen solar who serves as the archduke of avernus, the first hell of Baator.

Pathfinder

In Pathfinder, there are a profusion of archangels collectively known as Empyreal Lords; the most powerful members of the various angelic races of Golarion cosmology, the Empyreals are demigods in their own right, and worshipped as lesser deities by the righteous. They are covered extensively in a sourcebook called "Chronicle of the Righteous". The complete list of Empyreal Lords consists of:
