Eparchy of Kyiv (Ukrainian: Київська єпархія) is the central eparchy (diocese) and metropolis of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. The eparchy covers the territory of Kyiv Oblast and most of the city of Kyiv.
The seat of the Eparchy is the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery cathedral in Kyiv. It is the primatial Eparchy, its head being the Metropolitan of Kyiv and all Ukraine.
Following the 2018 unification council, the eparchy was reorganized, leading to the merger of the Eparchy of Kyiv (Kyiv Patriarchate), the Eparchy of Pereyaslav (Kyiv Patriarchate), and the Eparchy of Kyiv (Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church).
