List of Catholic dioceses in Burkina Faso and Niger

The Roman Catholic Church in Burkina Faso is composed only of a Latin hierarchy, comprising three ecclesiastical provinces, led by Metropolitan Archbishops, which have a total of twelve suffragan dioceses.

All and only Niger is covered by the Ecclesiastical Province of Niamey, which is composed of the capital's Metropolitan Archdiocese of Niamey and a single suffrage diocese: the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maradi, seated in the southern city of Maradi.

Neither has a national episcopal conference, but the two former French Sahel colonies form a joint transnational Episcopal Conference of Burkina Faso and Niger.

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 an Apostolic Nunciature to Burkina Faso as papal diplomatic representation (embassy level), into which the Apostolic Nunciature to Niger is also vested.
