The Roman Catholic Diocese of Saint-Claude is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic church in France. The diocese corresponds in territory to the department of Jura. It was created in 1742 as a smaller area mostly consisting of some parishes previously controlled by the Abbey of Sainte-Claude. Under the Concordat of 1802 it was included in the Archdiocese of Besançon; in 1822 it was again independent.
