The Roman Catholic Diocese of Cork and Ross (Irish: Deoise Chorcaí agus an Rois) is a Roman Catholic diocese in southern Ireland. It is one of six suffragan dioceses in the ecclesiastical province of Cashel (also known as Munster) and is subject to the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly.[1] The diocese is in the secular province of Munster. The diocese was formed by an ex aequo principaliter union on 19 April 1958, between the Dioceses of Cork and Ross.[2] The incumbent Ordinary is the Most Rev. Dr. John Buckley.

The cathedral church of St Mary and St Anne is located on the north side of Cork city.[3] Known locally as the North Chapel, is located at the top of Shandon Street, in one of the most historic areas of Cork. The Cathedral was dedicated in 1808 and celebrated its bicentenary in 2008.
