The Roman Catholic Mission sui iuris of the Cayman Islands (Latin: Missio sui iuris Insularum Caimanensium) is a mission sui iuris of the Latin Church of the Roman Catholic Church in the Caribbean.

The mission comprises the entirety of the British dependency of the Cayman Islands and consists of five parishes, including Saint Ignatius in George Town, Christ The Redeemer Church in West Bay and Stella Maris Church on Cayman Brac.[2]

The independent mission is exceptionally not exempt (directly dependent on the Holy See) but a suffragan in the ecclesiastical province of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Kingston in Jamaica, and a member of the Antilles Episcopal Conference, while held in personal union with the Metropolitan see of Detroit (Michigan, USA).
