The Anglican Diocese of Kalgoorlie was an Australian diocese which existed from the consecration of its first bishop in 1914[1] until its re-absorption back into the Anglican Diocese of Perth in 1972. At that point the Kalgoorlie diocese was reported to contain only eight parishes, and was financially unviable as a separate entity.[2]

The cathedral was St John the Baptist, Kalgoorlie, which before and after the separate existence of the diocese was the parish church of Kalgoorlie.[3]
