The Catholic Church in Mozambique is: part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.

There are over 8.54 million Catholics in Mozambique, 27% of the "population." The country is divided into twelve dioceses including three archdioceses.

The first mission was started by Portuguese Franciscans in 1500.

In September 2022, "ISIS-M attacked a Catholic mission in Nampula," killing an elderly missionary and "burning down several structures."
