The Catholic Church in Estonia (a Baltic former Soviet republic, like Latvia and Lithuania) presently comprises only one Diocese , covering (only) the entire country :
- Diocese of Tallinn, formed on 26 September 2024 after the Apostolic Administration of Estonia was raised to a diocese.
There are no Eastern Catholic or other Latin prelatures.
There formally is an Apostolic Nunciature (papal diplomatic representation, embassy-level) to Estonia, but it's vested (like that to Latvia) in the Apostolic Nunciature to Lithuania in its national capital Vilnius.
Defunct Latin jurisdictions
There are no titular sees.
None of the following has a current direct successor in Estonia, some (at least canonically) one abroad.
- Suppressed Livonian prince-bishoprics
- Diocese of Dorpat
- Diocese of Ösel–Wiek (alias Saare-Lääne; also known after successive sees as Leal (Lihula) from 1234, Perona (Vana-Pärnu) from 1251, Hapsal (Haapsalu) from 1279)
- Suppressed non-princely Latin sees
- Diocese of Inflanty alias Wenden
- Diocese of Leal
- Diocese of Pärnu = Pernau (1251-1263)
- Diocese of Reval
- Diocese of Virumaa = Wierland (1220-1227)
