The Apostolic Exarchate of Łemkowszczyzna (Polish: Egzarchat Apostolski Łemkowszczyzny; Ukrainian: Апостольський Екзархат Лемківщини) was a short-lived missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction (exempt, i.e. immediately subject to the Holy See) of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (Byzantine Rite in Ukrainian language), which was created as the Apostolic Administration of Łemkowszczyzna and then promoted as an Apostolic Exarchate.
