The Diocese of Miri (Latin: Dioecesis Mirensis; Malay: Keuskupan Miri; Chinese: 美里教区) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Malaysia, situated northeast of the Archdiocese of Kuching, of which it is a suffragan diocese. St. Joseph's Cathedral in Miri serves as both the diocesan cathedral and the seat of bishop. The diocese covers Miri, Bintulu, Limbang, Lawas, Tatau and Marudi. Brunei, formerly part of the diocese, has been separated from it on 21 November 1997 as an apostolic vicariate of its own.

In 1959, when the vicariate was established, Anthony Denis Galvin, a Mill Hill priest, was appointed as the Apostolic Vicar (later bishop) until his sudden death on 5 September 1976. Anthony Lee Kok Hin, a local priest from Miri, become the first local bishop of Miri on 30 May 1977. In 2013, following his resignation, Pope Francis elected Richard Ng, a Kuching-born priest, as his successor and he was installed as the second bishop of this diocese in 2014.
