List of Catholic dioceses in Equatorial Guinea
The Roman Catholic Church in Equatorial Guinea (former Spanish colony in West Africa) is composed only of a Latin hierarchy,
joint in a national Episcopal Conference of Equatorial Guinea,
comprising one ecclesiastical province consisting of the Metropolitan Archdiocese and four suffragan dioceses.
There are no Eastern Catholic, pre-diocesan or other exempt jurisdictions.
There are no titular sees. All defunct jurisdictions have current successor sees.
There is formally an Apostolic Nunciature as papal diplomatic representation (embassy-level) to Equatorial Guinea, but it is vested in the Apostolic Nunciature to neighbor Cameroon, in its capital Yaoundé.
