The Roman Catholic Diocese of Gallup is an ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in the southwestern region of the United States, encompassing counties in the states of Arizona and New Mexico. It is led by a prelate bishop which pastors the motherchurch in the City of Gallup, New Mexico's Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.
