List of Catholic dioceses in the Philippines
This is a list of the Catholic dioceses in the Philippines. The dioceses' bishops comprise the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), an episcopal conference. The dioceses are grouped into ecclesiastical provinces, each of which comprises a Metropolitan archdiocese and several suffragan dioceses and is headed by the archbishop, as the metropolitan bishop of the province.
Apostolic vicariates and the military ordinariate are not part of any ecclesiastical province, but are included in the table. Like diocesean bishops, they are the ordinary responsible for spiritual care the Catholics under them and are directly subject to the Holy See.
