List of Catholic dioceses in Nigeria
The Catholic Church in Nigeria is mainly composed of a Latin hierarchy, joined in a national Episcopal Conference of Nigeria, and a single Eastern Catholic (transnational) see, comprising:
- 9 Latin rite ecclesiastical provinces, each under a Metropolitan Archbishop, with a total of 44 suffragan dioceses
- one missionary apostolic vicariate
- one Maronite diocese, for all Western and Central Africa
