The Archdiocese of Ancona-Osimo (Latin: Archidioecesis Anconitanus-Auximanus) is a joint ecclesiastical territory and *metropolitan see of the Catholic Church in the Marche region of Italy.

It has existed in this form since 1986, when the historical Archdiocese of Ancona was united with the Diocese of Osimo.

The archbishop has his episcopal throne in the Cathedral of Ancona, while the Cathedral of Osimo has the status of a co-cathedral.
