This is a list of Catholic religious orders, congregations, institutes and societies of apostolic life that celebrate the traditional liturgical rites of the Latin Church, mainly the Traditional Latin Mass.

Most use a pre-1970 edition of the Roman Missal, usually the 1962 edition of this Missal, but some follow other Latin liturgical rites and thus celebrate not the Roman Rite but another form of liturgy permitted under the 1570 papal bull Quo primum, such as the Dominican, Carthusian or Carmelite Rites.

The traditional Latin rites were never abrogated by the Catholic Church, yet they were rarely used and sometimes prohibited by local authorities after 1970. To clarify the fact that the traditional Roman and other Latin liturgical rites had never been abrogated, and to expand and promote the ancient liturgy's use, Pope Benedict XVI issued in 2007 a motu proprio titled Summorum Pontificum, which was complemented by the instruction Universæ Ecclesiæ in 2011. This superseded previous documents already favorable to the traditional rites: Quattuor abhinc annos and Ecclesia Dei (both by John Paul II). However, Pope Francis established more restrictive conditions in 2021, with the motu proprio Traditionis custodes.

As of 2023, the largest priestly communities using the Traditional Latin Mass exclusively are the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) with 386 priests, Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP) with 147 priests and Institute of the Good Shepherd (IBP) with 62 priests.

This list also includes, in the last section, groups that are not in full communion with the Holy See, and that lack canonical recognition thereof.
