The Catholic Diocese of Saint Gallen (Latin: Diœcesis Sancti Galli) is a Latin Catholic diocese in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
The diocese was created in 1824 but united with the episcopal see of Chur until 1847.
Much of the territory had earlier been part of the Diocese of Konstanz.
The St Gallen Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the see of the diocese.
