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.

On 28 October 1993, it was established as the Apostolic Administration of Moldova (a missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction), on territories split off from the Diocese of Iași (in Romania) and the Diocese of Tiraspol (later suppressed).

On 27 October 2001, it was promoted and renamed after its see (the national capital) as Diocese of Chișinău, to which the apostolic administrator was appointed as first residential bishop.

The Cathedral of Chișinău is dedicated to the Divine Providence.^[1]
