Apostolic Delegation to Brunei Darussalam

The Apostolic Delegation to Brunei Darussalam is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Brunei Darussalam. It is led by an Apostolic Delegate who serves as principal liaison with the Catholic hierarchy there. It is a quasi-diplomatic post in that it maintains contacts with government officials; the Holy See and Brunei Darussalam have no formal relationship.

The Holy See created its Delegation to Brunei in 1998 by dividing its Delegation to Malaysia and Brunei, which it had formed in 1986.[1][a]

The position of Apostolic Delegate to Brunei Darussalam is held by the prelate who serves as Apostolic Nuncio to Malaysia, who resides in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
