The Diocese of Zhytomyr was twice a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in part of Ukraine, namely from 1321 to 1789 and again from 1925 to 1998.
Restored on 28 October 1925 as Diocese of Žytomyr / Zhytomyr / Zytomierz (Latin: Zytomerien(sis)), on territory returned from the above Diocese of Lutsk and Zytomierz.
Suppressed again on 25 November 1998, to establish the Diocese of Kyïv–Žytomyr; however, its cathedral of the Holy Wisdom is the new bishopric's episcopal seat, while first-mentioned Kyiv (Ukraine's national capital Kyiv) only has a co-cathedral (and a former cathedral).
