The Archdiocese of Granada (Latin: archidioecesis Granatensis) is a Latin ecclesiastical province of the Catholic Church in Spain. The ancient Diocese of Elvira dates back to the 3rd century. A titular episcopal see of Granada was established in 1437, and the see was restored as a metropolitan archdiocese in 1492 and was elevated to the rank of a metropolitan archdiocese in 1492, by papal authority under Pope Innocent VIII. Its current suffragan sees are Almería, Cartagena, Guadix, Jaén and Málaga.
The archdiocese's mother church and seat of its archbishop is the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Granada, which also houses the Basilicas of San Juan de Dios and Nuestra Señora de las Angustias. The current archbishop of Granada is José María Gil Tamayo, appointed by Pope Francis on 1st of February, 2023.
