Roman Catholic Diocese of Baguio

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Baguio (Lat: "Dioecesis Baghiopolitanus") is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines.

The diocese of Baguio is one of the older ecclesiastical territories in the Philippines.

Originally erected as the apostolic prefecture of Mountain Provinces in 1932, in 1945, the prefecture was elevated to an apostolic vicariate.

In 1992, the vicariate was subdivided to form the apostolic vicariate of Bontoc-Lagawe, and the apostolic vicariate of Tabukc, as well as having it's name changed to the Apostolic Vicariate of Baguio.

Finally, in 2004, the vicariate was elevated to a full diocese, and became a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia

The current bishop is Carlito J. Cenzon, appointed in 2002.
