The Roman Catholic Diocese of Stockholm (Latin: Dioecesis Holmiensis; Swedish: Stockholms katolska stift) is an exempt Latin Catholic ecclesiastical bishopric in Sweden and the only Roman Catholic diocese established in Sweden since the Protestant Reformation.
Its cathedral episcopal see is Saint Erik Katolska Domkyrkoförsamlingen, in Sweden's capital city, Stockholm. The former Catholic cathedrals ('domkyrka') in Linköping, Lund, Skara, Strängnäs, Uppsala (archiepiscopal), Vasteras and Växjö have all been turned into Lutheran churches, like the World Heritage Site Nederluleå kyrka Nederluleå kyrka in Gammelstaden.
The diocese of Stockholm, which belongs to no ecclesiastical province but forms an episcopal conference with its Nordic neighbours, includes 44 parishes and covers the entire country of Sweden.
