Ispahan was the Latin Church archdiocese for Iran, founded by Dominican friars in 1629. On 8 January 2021 Pope Francis renamed it the Archdiocese of Tehran-Isfahan of the Latins, so Ispahan and Tehran-Isfahan are the same see under different names. Its ordinary is Cardinal Dominique Joseph Mathieu, O.F.M. Conv., appointed in 2021.
