Die Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe (auch als Diocese in Europe bekannt) ist das Bistum der Church of England mit der größten Fläche und deckt etwa ein Sechstel der Landmasse der Erde ab, mit einer Reichweite von Morokko, Kontinentaleuropa, Island, die Türkei und das Gebiet der ehemaligen Sowjetunion. Es gehört zur Kirchenprovinz Canterbury. Sitz des Bistums ist Gibraltar (Cathedral of the Holy Trinity); Wohnsitz des Bischofs ist jedoch Bishop's Lodge in Worth (Crawley) in West Sussex, und das bischöfliche Ordinariat befindet sich in Tufton Street, London, als Teil des Church House Komplexes.
Der jetzige Bischof ist Douglas Geoffrey Rowell, der am 1. November 2001 in der Dreifaltigkeitskathedrale in Gibraltar inthronisiert wurde. Ihm zur Seite steht ein Weihbischof, derzeit David Hamid, der am 17. Oktober 2002 die Bischofsweihe empfing. Als Prokathedralen dienen St Paul's Cathedral in Valletta und Holy Trinity Cathedral, Brussels.
Das Bistum wurde 1842 gegründet;[1] zu jener Zeit war es für alle anglikanische Gemeinden von Portugal bis zum kaspischen Meer zuständig. 1980 wurde das Bistum mit der Aufsicht für Nord- und Mitteleuropa zusammengelegt und erhielt den Namen: Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe. Das Amt existiert daher in dieser Form erst seit dieser Zeit; vorher war für Nord- und Mitteleuropa der Weihbischof von Fulham im Bistum London zuständig.
Das Bistum ist in sieben Erzdekanate aufgeteilt.
