The Archdiocese of Strasbourg (Latin: Archidioecesis Argentoratensis o Argentinensis; French: Archidiocèse de Strasbourg; German: Erzbistum Straßburg; Alsatian: Ärzbischofsìtz Strossburi(g)) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or archdiocese of the Catholic Church in France, first mentioned in 343 AD.
It is one of nine[which?] archbishoprics in France that have no suffragan dioceses, and it is the only one of those to be exempt to the Holy See in Rome and not within a metropolitan's ecclesiastical province. The most recent Archbishop was Luc Ravel, who served between February 2017 and May 2023.
