The Archdiocese of Cape Town (Latin: Archidioecesis Civitatis Capitis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or archdiocese of the Catholic Church located in Cape Town, in the south-western region of South Africa. The principal church of the archdiocese and the location of the archbishop's cathedra is the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Flight into Egypt, which also serves as the patron saint for the archdiocese.
Until his transfer to Johannesburg, Stephen Brislin held the position of Archbishop of Cape Town, with Sylvester David serving as the auxiliary bishop to assist him in his pastoral responsibilities.
