The Armenian Apostolic Diocese of Isfahan and Southern Iran, (Template:Lang-hy ; Template:Lang-fa), is Oriental Orthodox Christian diocese (or eparchy) of the Armenian Apostolic Church in New Julfa, Isfahan, Iran. It is within the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Catholicossate of the Great House of Cilicia, seated in Antelias, since 1960.

Before that it was called the Armenian Apostolic Diocese of Persia and India (Template:Lang-hy ; Template:Lang-fa) and was under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Catholicossate of All Armenians in Vagharshapat. It was originally founded by Khachatur Kesaratsi after establishment of New Julfa in early 17th century.

The Diocese of Isfahan and Southern Iran is currently headed by Archbishop Sipan Kashchian.[1]
