The Military Ordinariate of Slovakia (Slovak: Vojenský ordinariát) is a Latin military ordinariate of the Roman Catholic Church for the Slovak armed forces.
It is exempt and immediately subject to the Holy See(not part of any ecclesiastical province and its Roman Congregation for Bishops).
The episcopal see is Saint Sebastian's Cathedral (Katedrála sv. Šebastiána) in the Slovak capital of Bratislava. Prior to 2009, the seat was the Trinitarian Church in the same city, formally the Cathedral of St. John of Matha and St. Felix of Valois (Katedrála sv. Jána a sv. Felixa z Valois).
