The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kalocsa–Kecskemét (Hungarian: Kalocsa–Kecskeméti Főegyházmegye, Latin: Archidioecesis Colocensis–Kecskemetensis) is an Archdiocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in Hungary. Since 1993, its official name is Archdiocese of Kalocsa-Kecskemét. The diocese is the metropolitan of the Diocese of Pécs and the Diocese of Szeged-Csanád. The patron saint is Saint Paul. The current archbishop is Balázs Bábel, who was appointed in 1999.

Establishment of the Archdiocese

The Archdiocese of Kalocsa was probably originally set up as a Bishopric by King Stephen I of Hungary, but it became the second Archbishopric in 1009. Its original suffragans were the bishops of Bihar (Romanian: Biharea) and Transylvania. Around 1028 the bishop of the newly established Diocese of Csanád also became a suffragan to the Archdiocese of Kalocsa.

Secular offices connected to the archbishopric

The Archbishops of Kalocsa were, from the 15th century to 1776, the perpetual ispáns (Hungarian: Bács vármegye örökös főispánja, Latin: Bacsiensis perpetuus supremus comes).
