The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Belgrade (Latin: Archidioecesis Belogradensis; Serbian and Croatian: Beogradska nadbiskupija; Hungarian: Belgrádi főegyházmegye) is an archdiocese located in the city of Belgrade in Serbia.
In order to regulate status of local Catholic Church, government of the Kingdom of Serbia concluded official Concordat with Holy See on 24 June 1914. By the Second Article of Concordat, it was decided that regular Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Belgrade shall be created. Because of the breakout of First World War, those provisions could not be implemented, and only after 1918 new arrangements were made:
