The Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin, originally the Diocese of Wisconsin is the diocese of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America located in the state of Wisconsin. It is in Province V (for the Midwest region). The diocese was originally formed in 1847, but was re-established in 2024 by the reunion of the Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee, the Episcopal Diocese of Eau Claire, and the Episcopal Diocese of Fond du Lac.
