The Archdiocese of Armagh (Latin: Archidioecesis Ardmachana; Irish: Ard-Deoise Ard Mhacha) is an ecclesiastical territory or archdiocese of the Catholic Church (particularly the Roman Catholic or Latin Church) located in the northern part of Ireland. The ordinary is the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh who is also the Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical province of Armagh and the Primate of All Ireland. The mother church is St Patrick's Cathedral. The claim of the archdiocese to pre-eminence in Ireland as the primatial see rests upon its traditional establishment by Saint Patrick circa 445. It was recognised as a metropolitan province in 1152 by the Synod of Kells.
L'archidiocèse d'Armagh est l'un des quatre archidiocèses métropolitains de rite romain que compte l'île d'Irlande. Son titulaire siège à la cathédrale catholique Saint-Patrick d'Armagh et est reconnu comme étant primat d'Irlande. Il ne doit pas être confondu avec le diocèse homonyme de l'Église anglicane.
