The Roman Catholic Church in Guatemala forms a single, entirely Latin Episcopal conference.

It comprises two ecclesiastical provinces (each headed by a Metropolitan Archbishop, with a total of 11 suffragan dioceses), three missionary pre-diocesan jurisdictions: one territorial prelature and two Apostolic vicariates, each headed by a (residential or titular) Bishop.

The only former jurisdictions have been promoted to their present status.
