The Archdiocese of Pamplona y Tudela (Latin: Pampilonen(sis) et Tudelen(sis)) is an archdiocese located in the cities of Pamplona and Tudela in Spain.

In 850, in the face of a Muslim invasion, the seat of the bishop was transferred to Leire.

In 1023, the see was reestablished in Pamplona.

Between 1238 and 1242, the throne was vacant while the chapter was divided between supporters of Lope García and of the archdeacon Guillermo de Oriz.

Martín resigned the see to become a cardinal in 1390, but he continued as apostolic administrator until 1403.
