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

There are about four million Catholics in the country — about 8% of the total population. The faithful of Ukraine follow several rites — the Ukrainian Rite, the Latin Rite and the Ruthenian Rite. Before World War II the Armenian Rite also had a notable presence.

The majority of Ukrainian faithful belong to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The Latin Rite in the territories of modern Ukraine has been strongly associated with Poland and today most Roman Catholics in Ukraine are ethnic Poles.
