The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Santiago del Estero (Latin: Archidioecesis Sancti Iacobi de Estero) is a jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in northern Argentina and the first diocese on territory belonging to the modern Republic of Argentina. Formerly a diocese in the ecclesiastical province of Tucumán, it continues to be a suffragan see of the Archdiocese of Tucumán even after the elevation to the status of an archdiocese and its recognition as the Primacy of Argentina in 2024.
