The Diocese of Salford (

Latin: Dioecesis Salfordensis) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church centred on the City of Salford

in Greater Manchester, England.

The diocese was founded in 1852 as one of the first post-

is also within the diocese. In 2005, the diocese included 207 churches and chapels.
