The Archdiocese of Baghdad () is a Latin Catholic ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in Baghdad, Iraq. It has jurisdiction over three parishes of 2,500 Latin Catholics who live throughout Iraq. The diocese is immediately subject to the Holy See. It operates alongside seven Chaldean dioceses, three Syrian Catholic, one Greek-Melkite jurisdiction, and one Armenian Catholic diocese, all of which are in communion with the Holy See. The archdiocese's cathedral is the Latin Cathedral of St. Joseph in Baghdad, not to be confused with the Chaldean Cathedral of St. Joseph located in Baghdad and the Chaldean Cathedral of St. Joseph located in Ankawa, Iraq.
