The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Naxos, Andros, Tinos and Mykonos (Latin: Archidioecesis Naxiensis, Andrensis, Tinensis, et Myconensis) is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic church in Greece. The archdiocese is the metropolitan of the dioceses of Chios, Crete, Santorini and Syros and Milos.
Originally erected as the Diocese of Naxos in the 13th century, the parent diocese was elevated to the Archdiocese of Naxos in 1522 after the fall of Rhodes, when the Archdiocese was moved from there. On June 3, 1919, the Archdiocese of Naxos was united with the Diocese of Andros, and the Archdiocese of Tinos and Mykonos to form the present Archdiocese.
The ecclesiastical territory comprises most of the Aegean islands in Greece, including, but not limited to Naxos, Andros, Tinos and Mykonos.
The current Archbishop is Nikólaos Printesis, who was appointed in 1993.
