The Archdiocese of Honiara is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or archdiocese of the Catholic Church in the Solomon Islands. It is the successor of the apostolic prefecture of the British Solomon Islands, which was erected in 1897. The ecclesiastical province of Honiara was created in 1978, the first such creation of Pope John Paul II, and contains two suffragan sees: Gizo (1966, formerly the Vicariate Apostolic of Western Solomon Islands) and Auki (1982).

Holy Cross Cathedral in the episcopal see of Honiara on the island of Guadalcanal houses the cathedra of the archdiocese. It was dedicated on 17 September 1978 by then-Bishop Daniel Stuyvenberg, S.M.

New York-born Archbishop Christopher Cardone, O.P. was appointed on 22 June 2016 to replace Dubliner Archbishop Adrian Smith S.M., who presented his resignation on reaching the age limit after some 32 years as Archbishop of Honiara.
