The Syro-Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Ujjain (Ujjain of the Syro-Malabars) is a Syro-Malabar eparchy (Eastern Catholic) in India, part of the rite-specific the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church (Syro-Oriental Rite).

It thus depends on the Roman Congregation for the Oriental Churches, but is simultaneously a suffragan see in the ecclesiastical province of the Latin Metropolitan Archdiocese of Bhopal.

Its cathedral episcopal see is St. Mary's Cathedral, in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh state in central India.
