The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tlaxcala (Latin: Dioecesis Tlaxcalensis) (erected 23 May 1959) is a suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Puebla de los Ángeles, which was itself officially named the Diocese of Tlaxcala until 1903. The present Diocese of Tlaxcala was erected from territory of that archdiocese and the adjacent Archdiocese of Mexico.
