This article lists diplomatic missions accredited to the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. The Order does not have its own territory and its sovereign extraterritorial headquarters, Villa del Priorato di Malta and Palazzo Malta, are located in Rome; therefore many countries accredit their Rome-based ambassadors to the Holy See additionally to the Order of Malta.[1]
