The Military Ordinariate of Slovakia (Slovak: Vojenský ordinariát) is a Latin military ordinariate (pseudo-diocese) of the Roman Catholic Church for the Slovak armed forces.
It is exempt, i.e. immediately subject to the Holy See (not part of any ecclesiastical province and its Roman Congregation for Bishops.
The Cathedral episcopal see is Katedrála sv. Šebastiána, dedicated to Saint Sebastian, in the Slovak national capital Bratislava, which in 2009 replaced the Cathedral of St. John of Matha and St. Felix of Valois (Katedrála sv. Jána a sv. Felixa z Valois), also in Bratislava.
