The Ruthenian Catholic Eparchy of Parma (Latin: Eparchia Parmensis Ruthenorum), commonly but imprecisely called Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Parma, a suffragan diocese in the ecclesiastical province of the Metropolitan Archeparchy of Pittsburgh (depending on the Roman Congregation for the Oriental Churches), is the eparchy (Eastern Catholic diocese) of the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church in the Midwestern United States, in practice governing most Byzantine Rite Catholics in the Midwestern United States, hence informally also known as Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Parma. Its headquarters are at 1900 Carlton Road, Parma, Ohio. The Eparchy is currently a sede vacante (vacant see) following the retirement of Bishop (Eparch) John Kudrick, which was accepted by Pope Francis on Saturday, May 7, 2016.

Its episcopal seat is the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Parma, Ohio.

As per 2014, the Eparchy pastorally served 9,020 Eastern Catholics in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Ohio in 28 parishes and 5 missions with 36 priests (diocesan), 16 deacons, 6 lay religious (6 sisters), 2 seminarians. Ten parishes in the Youngstown, Ohio area are part of the Byzantine Catholic Archeparchy of Pittsburgh.
