The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tehran–Isfahan of the Latins (Latin: Archidioecesis Teheranensis-Hispahanensis Latinorum; Persian: اسقفنشین کاتولیک رومی تهران-اصفهان, romanized: Ōsghof-neshin Kātolik Romi Tehrān-Esfahān) is a jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in Iran.
Pope Francis changed the name of this jurisdiction to the Archdiocese of Tehran–Isfahan of the Latins from the Archdiocese of Isfahan of the Latins on 8 January 2021.
Besides a small number of Latin Rite locals, most Catholics in Iran are foreigners living in the country. The majority of Catholics in Iran belong to the Chaldean Catholic Church, and there is also a small Armenian Catholic diocese.
