The diocesan system of Christian church government in Uruguay comprises one ecclesiastical province headed by an archbishop. The province is in turn subdivided into 8 dioceses and 1 archdiocese each headed by a bishop or an archbishop.
The province had had 9 suffragan dioceses, but on 2 March 2020, the Diocese of Minas was suppressed by combining it with the Diocese of Maldonado-Punta del Este to form the Diocese of Maldonado-Punta del Este-Minas.
