The Archdiocese of Zaragoza (Latin: Archidiœcesis Cæsaraugustana; Aragonese: Archidiocesi de Zaragoza) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church located in north-eastern Spain, in the province of Zaragoza (older in English: Saragossa), part of the autonomous community of Aragón. The archdiocese heads the ecclesiastical province of Zaragoza, having metropolitan authority over the suffragan dioceses of Barbastro-Monzón, Huesca, Tarazona, and Teruel and Albarracín.
The diocese was created in Roman times; Pope John XXII elevated it to an archdiocese in 1318.
