The Diocese of Raphoe (/ˈræfoʊ/; Irish: Deoise Caitliceach Ráth Bhoth) is a Roman Catholic diocese in north-western Ireland. It is one of eight suffragan dioceses that are subject to the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Armagh. The incumbent is Philip Boyce O.C.D. who was enthroned on 1 October 1995. The current vicar general of the diocese is Daniel Carr. As of 25 January 2015, Philip Boyce reached the mandatory retirement age for a Roman Catholic Bishop which is 75 years of age. No announcement has been made yet on when Boyce will formally step down as the diocesan bishop.

The See covers most of County Donegal apart from the Inishowen peninsula. It contains 33 parishes. The largest towns are Ballyshannon, Donegal, Letterkenny and Stranorlar. The bishop's residence - Ard Adomnán - is in the town of Letterkenny. It is located beside the Parochial House, near the Cathedral of St. Eunan and St Columba which is dedicated to the joint patrons of the diocese - Saints Eunan (also known as Adomnán) and Columba (also known as Columcille).
