The Roman Catholic Diocese of Stockholm (Latin: Dioecesis Holmiensis; Swedish: Stockholms Katolska Stift) is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Sweden; its seat is Stockholm. It is the only Roman Catholic diocese established in Sweden since the Protestant Reformation. Originally erected on 23 September 1783, as an apostolic vicariate within the Archdiocese of Paderborn, it became a separate diocese on 29 June 1953. The diocese includes 42 parishes and covers the entire country of Sweden.
