The Diocese of Darjeeling is a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or diocese of the Catholic Church in India. It is a suffragan in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Calcutta, yet depends on the missionary Dicastery for Evangelization. It includes within its territory the independent Himalayan country of Bhutan, where Christianity is practiced by a tiny minority and proselytism is forbidden.

The cathedral episcopal see is the Marian Immaculate Conception Cathedral, in Darjeeling, West Bengal state, India.
