The Diocese of Alcalá de Henares (Latin: Compluten(sis)) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in Spain. Its episcopal see is Alcalá de Henares. The diocese is a suffragan in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Madrid.

History

An ancient diocese of Complutum (the current Alcala de Henares) was founded in the 4th or 5th century but it was abolished under the Muslim government (8th–11th century) and not restored by the Christian Kings and its territory given to the Archdiocese of Toledo. In 1885, a Diocese of Madrid and Alcala (suffragan of Toledo) was founded, now the Archdiocese of Madrid.

On July 23, 1991, it was established as Diocese of Alcalá de Henares from the Archdiocese of Madrid (as its suffragan diocese), with the latin name of Complutensis to remember the ancient diocese.
