The Roman Catholic Diocese of Kalookan (Lat: Dioecesis Kalookanus) is a Roman Rite diocese of the Latin Church of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. The diocese was erected in 2003 from the Archdiocese of Manila. The diocese comprises Caloocan City-South, Malabon City, and Navotas City. Appointed as first bishop was Most Rev. Deogracias S. Iñiguez, then Bishop of Iba, Zambales. His early resignation due to his deteriorating health was approved by Pope Benedict XVI on January 25, 2013. Upon Bishop Iñiguez's resignation, Diocese of Antipolo Auxiliary Bishop Francisco M. De Leon was appointed Apostolic Administrator of the diocese, until a diocesan bishop was appointed by the Pope.

Most Rev. Pablo Virgilio S. David, D.D., the current Auxiliary Bishop of San Fernando in Pampanga was appointed second Bishop of Kalookan on October 14, 2015. He was installed as the Second Bishop of Kalookan on January 2, 2016.[1]
