The Diocese of San Jose, Nueva Ecija (Latin: Dioecesis Sancti Iosephi in Insulis Philippinis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese located in the province of Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Established by Pope John Paul II in 1984, it was officially canonically erected on July 14 of the same year. The diocese was created from the territories formerly under the Diocese of Cabanatuan, initially comprising sixteen parishes out of Cabanatuan's original forty-one. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan.
The diocese celebrated its Silver Anniversary of Canonical Erection last July 14, 2009. San Jose held its first Diocesan Synod in March 2011 led by the Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines.
As of March 27, 2025, the diocese is sede vacante after Bishop Mallari was installed as Bishop of Tarlac.
