The Ruthenian Catholic Apostolic Administration of Bosnia-Hercegovina was a short-lived (1914-1924) pre-diocesan Eastern Catholic jurisdiction, covering Bosnia and Hercegovina.

It was exempt, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See, not part of any ecclesiastical province. It practiced the Byzantine Rite in Ruthenian language.
