The Diocese of Keewatin is a diocese of the Anglican Church of Canada. It straddles the border of the civil Provinces of Manitoba and Ontario, comprising over 900,000 square kilometres. The diocese is geographically isolated, consisting of mainly small, and mostly First Nations communities. The largest of these, Kenora, Ontario, is also the diocese's See city. There are just over 11,000 Anglicans on forty-eight parish rolls. The Diocese was established by the Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert's Land in 1902, and was a major focus for missionary activity among the indigenous peoples there.

The current bishop (the diocese's ninth) is the Right Rev. David Ashdown. The Dean is the Very Rev. Hugh Matheson.
