The Episcopal Diocese of the Susquehanna, formerly known as the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania (1871–1909) and the Diocese of Bethlehem (1909–2025) is a diocese of the Episcopal Church. It encompasses 39 counties across central and northwestern Pennsylvania with co-cathedrals in Bethlehem and Harrisburg. Established in 1871 from territory carved out of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, it was divided in 1904 to form a new Harrisburg-based diocese. This diocese, which was separately called the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania from the 1970s on, reunified with the Diocese of Bethlehem effective on January 1, 2026, under the name the Diocese of the Susquehanna.
