The Archdiocese of Kalocsa-Kecskemét (Hungarian: Kalocsa-Kecskeméti Főegyházmegye) is a Roman Catholic Archbishopric in Hungary whose patron saint is Saint Paul.

Secular offices connected to the archbishopric

The Archbishops of Kalocsa were, from the 15th century to 1776, the Perpetual Counts of Bács (Hungarian: Bács vármegye örökös főispánja, Latin: Bacsiensis perpetuus supremus comes).

Establishment of the Archdiocese

The Arhdiocese of Kalocsa was probably originally set up as a Bishopric by King Stephen I of Hungary, but it became the second Archbishopric in 1009. Its original suffragans were the bishops of Bihar (Romanian: Biharea) and Transylvania. Around 1028 the bishop of the newly established Diocese of Csanád also became a suffragan to the Archdiocese of Kalocsa.
