List of Catholic dioceses in Paraguay
# List of Catholic dioceses in Paraguay

The diocesan system of Catholic church government in Paraguay comprises only a Latin hierarchy, joint in the nation episcopal conference, no Eastern Catholic jurisdiction :

* one ecclesiastical province, headed by a Metropolitan archbishop. The provinces are in turn subdivided into eleven suffragan dioceses, each headed by a bishop.
* two missionary, pre-diocesan (exempt) Apostolic Vicariates
* the also exempt military Ordinariate.

All defunct jurisdictions are direct precursors of current ones.

There is also an Apostolic Nunciature to Paraguay as papal diplomatic representation (embassy level).
