The Syro-Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Kanjirapally is an Eastern Catholic eparchy in India, under the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church.
It was erected by Pope Paul VI in the bull "Nos Beati Petri Successores" in February 1977, which separated the eastern part of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Archeparchy of Changanassery and erected the new eparchy of Kanjirapally, as a suffragan of the same Archeparchy. Mar Mathew Arackal is the current Bishop.
