The Eparchy of Volodymyr–Brest (Latin: Vladimirensis–Brestensis Rutenorum, also known as Volodymyr–Brėst of the Ukrainian) was an eparchy (equivalent to a diocese in the Latin Rite) of the Ruthenian Uniate Church from 1596 until 1795. It was situated in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth between the rivers Bug and Styr on territory that is today located in parts of the modern states of Ukraine and Belarus. The eparchy was a suffragan of the Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia.
