The '''Diocese of Middlesbrough''' ({{langx|la|Dioecesis Medioburgensis}}) is a [[Latin Church|Latin]] [[diocese]] of the [[Catholic Church]] based in [[Middlesbrough]], [[England]] and is part of the [[Ecclesiastical Province|province]] of [[Archdiocese of Liverpool|Liverpool]]. It was founded on 20 December 1878, with the splitting of the [[Diocese of Beverley]] which had covered all of [[Yorkshire]]. The Bishop's See is in [[Coulby Newham]], Middlesbrough, at [[Middlesbrough Cathedral|St Mary's Cathedral]]. Catholic schools in the diocese are run by the '''Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust''' as well as St Cuthbert's Roman Catholic Academy Trust.

==History==
{{See also|Catholic Church in England and Wales}}
The diocese was created on 20 December 1878, when the then [[Diocese of Beverley]], which covered the whole of Yorkshire, was divided into the Diocese of Middlesbrough, covering the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire and those parishes in the City of York to the north of the River Ouse, and the Diocese of Leeds, covering the West Riding of Yorkshire and those parishes in the City of York to the south of the River Ouse. In 1982 the two York parishes south of the River Ouse were ceded to the Diocese of Middlesbrough to unite the City of York under one bishop. The parish of Howden was transferred from Middlesbrough to the Leeds diocese in 2004.

==Bishops==

The Bishop of Middlesbrough is [[Terence Patrick Drainey]]. He was ordained as the 7th [[Bishop of Middlesbrough]] on 25 January 2008, replacing the Right Reverend [[John Patrick Crowley]].
