The Archdiocese of Miami (Latin: Archidioecesis Miamiensis, Spanish: Arquidiócesis de Miami, Haitian Creole: Achidyosèz Miami) is a Latin Church archdiocese of the Catholic Church in South Florida in the United States. It is the metropolitan see for the Ecclesiastical Province of Miami, which covers all of Florida. The Archdiocese of Miami contains the Florida counties Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe.

Formed in 1958, the archdiocese added many Cuban members following the Cuban Revolution in 1959. It was involved in Operation Pedro Pan, a clandestine operation to bring Cuban children to South Florida. Starting in the late 1990s or early 2000s it has faced a sexual abuse scandal in which at least 90 minors made claims of sexual abuse as of 2003.

The archdiocese operates two hospitals and other healthcare facilities. It runs 60 elementary or middle schools, 13 high schools, and two universities. It celebrates mass in at least a dozen languages.

The Cathedral of Saint Mary is the mother church of the archdiocese. As of 2023, the archbishop of Miami is Thomas Wenski.
