The Archdiocese of Munich and Freising (German: Erzbistum München und Freising, Latin: Archidioecesis Monacensis et Frisingensis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in Bavaria, Germany.[1][2] It is governed by the Archbishop of Munich and Freising, who administers the see from the co-cathedral in Munich, the Frauenkirche. The other, much older co-cathedral is Freising Cathedral.

The see was canonically erected in about 739 by Saint Boniface as the Diocese of Freising, and later became a prince-bishopric. The diocese was dissolved in 1803 following the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, although a titular bishop ruled until April 1, 1818, when Pope Pius VII elevated the diocese to an archdiocese with its new seat in Munich, rather than Freising.

The archdiocese is divided into 40 deaneries with 758 parishes. Its suffragan bishops are those of Augsburg, Passau, and Regensburg.

The most notable archbishop was Joseph Ratzinger, who was elected as Pope Benedict XVI.

The residence of the archbishops of Munich and Freising is the Palais Holnstein in Munich, very close to the Munich Cathedral (Frauendom). The official archives and library for the archdiocese is also very close to the Palais Holnstein.
