The Roman Catholic Diocese of Reconquista (Latin: Dioecesis Reconquistensis) is located in the city of Reconquista, in the north of the province of Santa Fe, in Argentina.

On 11 February 1957 Pope Pius XII founded the Diocese of Reconquista from territory taken from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. It lost territory to the Diocese of Rafaela in 1961.
