The Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Britain and Ireland or Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Britain and Ireland (Serbian: Српска православна епархија британско-ирска) is a Serbian Orthodox Church diocese in Great Britain and Ireland. Its seat is the Serbian Cathedral of Saint Sava in London, England. This diocese was established in May 2024 when the Holy Council of Bishops of the Serbian Church decided to split the existing Diocese of Britain and Scandinavia in two - creating separate Diocese of Britain and Ireland and Diocese of Scandinavia.^[1] At the same meeting, Nektarije Samardžić was appointed the first Bishop of the Diocese of Britain and Ireland (He was previously Titular Bishop of Jegra).^[2] He was enthroned in November 2024.^[1]
