List of Roman Catholic Dioceses in the Caribbean

The Roman Catholic Church in the Caribbean comprises five ecclesiastical provinces each headed by an archbishop. The provinces are in turn subdivided into 14 dioceses and 5 archdioceses each headed by a bishop or an archbishop. There are also 2 Mission sui iuris in the Caribbean. All of those listed are members of the Antilles Episcopal Conference, including three, the Diocese of Georgetown, Diocese of Cayenne and the Diocese of Paramaribo which are located in South America in the dependencies Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname respectively. Also a member of the Antilles Conference is the Diocese of Belize City-Belmopan on the mainland in Belize.

Each of the Greater Antilles: Haiti, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico all have their own Conferences; with the exception of Puerto Rico, which is a member of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Another exception is the Diocese of Saint Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands, which is also a member of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and an Observer to the Antilles Conference.
