The Patriarchate of Venice (Latin : Patriarchatus Venetiarum), also sometimes called the Archdiocese of Venice, is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or patriarchal archdiocese of the Catholic Church in Venice, Italy.

The ordinary of the archdiocese is the Patriarch of Venice, who has traditionally been created a cardinal in consistory by the Pope. Immediately upon installation in office, however, the Patriarch of Venice has the right to wear scarlet vestments (like a cardinal) whether or not he has yet been elevated to the College of Cardinals. The mother church of the archdiocese is the Basilica di San Marco in Venezia.
