The Catholic Church in Montenegro (Albanian: Kisha katolike në Mal të Zi, Montenegrin: Католичка црква у Црној Гори, romanizedKatolička crkva u Crnoj Gori; Croatian: Katolička Crkva u Crnoj Gori) is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome. Montenegro is not a traditionally Catholic country, as after the Great Schism of 1054 the Montenegrin Christians remained within the sphere of influence of the Church of Constantinople.

There were 20,000 Catholics in Montenegro in 2020, and they formed 2.8% of the population.[1] Most Catholics are ethnic Albanians, Montenegrins and Croats.

The Apostolic Nuncio to Montenegro and to Bosnia and Herzegovina is Archbishop Francis Chullikatt.
