The Roman Catholic Diocese of Galloway (Latin Dioecesis Candidae Casae o Gallovidianus) is an ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland. The diocese of Galloway had broken allegiance with Rome in 1560, and disappeared in 1689. It was resurrected by the Roman Catholic Church on March 4, 1878, and is now based in the town of Ayr.
The present bishop of the diocese is the Right Reverend William Nolan.
