The Military Bishopric of the Dominican Republic (Spanish: Obispado Castrense de República Dominicana) is a military ordinariate (quasi-diocese) of the Roman Catholic Church.

It is exempt, i.e. immediately subject to the Holy See, not part of any ecclesiastical province.

Its Cathedral Church is the Catedral Castrense Santa Bárbara de los hombres de la mar, a colonial Eclectic Catholic cathedral located in the Ciudad Colonial of Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic.
