The Diocese of Chișinău (in Latin: Dioecesis Chisinauensis, in Romanian: Dieceza Chișinăului) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church covering all of Moldova and the territory of the self-proclaimed state of Transnistria.
It is exempt, meaning that it is directly subordinate to the Holy See, not part of any ecclesiastical province with a metropolitan bishop.
