The Archdiocese of Ottawa–Cornwall (Latin: Archidioecesis Ottaviensis–Cornubiensis, French: L'Archidiocèse d'Ottawa-Cornwall) is a Catholic archdiocese in the Province of Ontario. It is the metropolitan diocese of the ecclesiastical province of Ottawa–Cornwall which includes the suffragan dioceses of Hearst–Moosonee, Pembroke, and Timmins.
