Mission sui iuris of Mossul

The Mission sui iuris of Mossul was a Latin Catholic missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction in northern Iraq, notably Kurdistan.

It was exempt, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See (notably the Roman missionary Congregation Propaganda Fide), not part of any ecclesiastical province.

It was established in 1750, without formal Latin precursor jurisdiction, and suppressed in 1969, without formal successor.
