List of Catholic dioceses in Costa Rica

The Roman Catholic Church in Costa Rica consists only of a Latin hierarchy,
joint in the national Episcopal conference of Costa Rica, comprising only one ecclesiastical province headed by a Metropolitan archbishop, with seven suffragan dioceses each headed by a bishop.

There are no eastern Catholic, pre-diocesan or other exempt jurisdictions.

There are no titular sees. All defunct jurisdictions have current successor sees.
