List of Catholic bishops in the Philippines

The Catholic Church in the Philippines is organized into 72 dioceses in 16 Ecclesiastical Provinces, as well as 7 Apostolic Vicariates and a Military Ordinariate. Each province has a metropolitan archdiocese led by an archbishop, and at least one suffragan diocese. In most archdioceses and some large dioceses, one or more auxiliary bishops serve in association with the diocesan bishop.

Philippines map showing each of the 16 Latin Church provinces. Each diocese is led by a bishop. In the Philippines, all archbishops are provincial metropolitans. Each color represents one of the 16 Latin Church provinces.

As of November 28, 2020, one of the 16 metropolitans are cardinals of the Catholic Church: Capiz (Jose Advincula); Two archdioceses have retired archbishops who served as cardinal-archbishop of their diocese: Manila (Gaudencio Rosales) and Cotabato (Orlando Quevedo); One cardinal who was formerly a metropolitan archbishop is currently assigned at the Roman Curia (Luis Antonio Tagle).

All active and retired bishops in the Philippines, coadjutor, and auxiliary—are members of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
