The Patriarchate of Venice (Latin: Patriarchatus Venetiarum), also sometimes called the Archdiocese of Venice, is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or patriarchal archdiocese of the Catholic Church in Venice, Italy.

The ordinary of the archdiocese is the Patriarch of Venice, who has traditionally been created a cardinal in consistory by the Pope. Immediately upon installation in office, however, the Patriarch of Venice has the right to wear scarlet vesture (like a cardinal) whether or not he has yet been elevated to the College of Cardinals. The mother church of the archdiocese is the St Mark's Basilica in Venice.

As a metropolitan see, the Patriarch of Venice is the metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Venice. Its suffragan dioceses include Adria-Rovigo, Belluno-Feltre, Chioggia, Concordia-Pordenone, Padova, Treviso, Verona, Vicenza, and Vittorio Veneto.[1]
