The Apostolic Vicariate of Grave–Nijmegen was a short-lived (1801 - 1851) pre-diocesan Latin Catholic jurisdiction in southern parts of the present Netherlands (in North Brabant viz. Gelderland).

History

Established on 22 March 1803 as Apostolic Vicariate (in principle entitled to a (titular) bishop) of Grave–Nijmegen, on territory split off from the Diocese of Roermond in course of suppression (completed 29 November, when the remainder of the diocesan territory was added), to which its last Bishop was appointed.

It was suppressed in 1851, its territory being merged into the Apostolic Vicariate of ’s-Hertogenbosch (now a diocese).
