List of Catholic dioceses in Morocco, Mauritania and Western Sahara

The Catholic Church in Morocco, Mauritania and Western Sahara (which is occupied and claimed by Morocco; all three share a Franco-Spanish colonial past) is composed only of a Latin hierarchy (no Eastern Catholic), without a single ecclesiastical province, as all are exempt, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See, comprising: two non-metropolitan archbishoprics, both in Morocco; a bishopric for all Mauritania; and an apostolic prefecture for all Western Sahara.
