The Ruthenian Catholic Archeparchy of Smolensk (Latin: Dioecesis Smolenscensis Ruthenorum, Polish: Arcybiskupstwo smoleńskie) was an archeparchy of the Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia in the Ruthenian Uniate Church from 1625 to 1778. It was situated in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in what is today the Smolensk Oblast of the Russian Federation. It used the Byzantine Rite in its services. It was also known as the Ruthenian Catholic Archdiocese of Smolensk or Smoleńsk of the Ruthenians.

History

It was established in 1625 on Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth territory, previously without proper Ruthenian Catholic jurisdiction. Earlier in 1611 there was established Roman Catholic diocese of Smolensk.

It was suppressed in 1778, without a successor jurisdiction, at its last incumbent's death.
