The Roman Catholic Church in Ghana (West Africa) is composed solely of a Latin hierarchy, joint in the national Episcopal Conference of Ghana, comprising a single pre-diocesan (exempt) apostolic vicariate and four ecclesiastical provinces, each headed by a Metropolitan Archdiocese, with a total of 15 suffragan dioceses.
There are no Eastern Catholic jurisdictions or quasi-diocesan ordinariates.
There are no titular sees. All defunct jurisdictions have current successor sees.
There is an Apostolic Nunciature to Ghana (in national capital Accra) as papal diplomatic representation (embassy-level).
