List of Catholic dioceses in Sri Lanka and the Maldives
The Catholic Church in Indian Ocean island states Sri Lanka and Maldives is solely composed of
- one Latin ecclesiastical province, comprising a Metropolitan archdiocese and twelve suffragan dioceses, all in Sri Lanka, which jointly constitute the (bi)national Episcopal Conference of Sri Lanka.
The Maldives have no proper jurisdiction, but are covered by the Colombo archdiocese.
There are no Eastern Catholic, pre-diocesan or other exempt jurisdictions.
All defunct jurisdictions are (formerly Ceylonese) precursors of present Sri Lankan sees.
There is an Apostolic Nunciature to Sri Lanka (in national capital Colombo) as papal diplomatic representation at embassy level, none in the Maldives.
