The Catholic Church in Serbia is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome.

There are an estimated 433,000 baptised Catholics in Serbia, roughly 4.6% of the population, mostly concentrated in Vojvodina.

Within Serbia the Latin Rite hierarchy consists of:

  • Archbishopric
    • Bishopric


The diocese of Đakovo-Srijem also lies partially in Serbia, but it is part of the church in Croatia. In addition, there is a separate jurisdiction for those of the Byzantine Rite.
