For the contemporary diocese of the Scottish Episcopal Church, see Diocese of Brechin (Episcopalian).

The pre-Reformation Diocese of Brechin or Diocese of Angus was one of the thirteen historical dioceses of Scotland. The diocese was believed to have been founded by Bishop Samson in 1153, and based at the cathedral in Brechin, Angus. At the Reformation, the cathedral, churches and jurisdiction of the diocese were transferred to the Church of Scotland, its line of episcopacy having been continued without breaks by what is now called the Scottish Episcopal Church.

The Diocese has been led by the Bishop of Brechin (Episcopal), sole successor to the early Bishop of Brechin.
