Ecclesiastical Nagasaki refers to the period during which the city of Nagasaki was administered by the Jesuits under the nominal authority of the Ōmura clan.
Contrary to some accounts, it was not a Portuguese colony. Portuguese representatives had only commercial and religious privileges under the Padroado.
