The '''Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See to India''' is the diplomatic mission of the Holy See to India, similar to an embassy. It is located at 50-C, Niti Marg, [[Chanakyapuri]], [[New Delhi]]. Archbishop [[Leopoldo Girelli]] was named Apostolic Nuncio by [[Pope Francis]] on 13 March 2021. He was formerly Apostolic Nuncio to Israel and Cyprus.

The Apostolic Nunciature to India is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in India, with the rank of ambassador. The nuncio serves both as the ambassador of the Pope (as head of [[State of Vatican City]]) to the President of India, and as delegate and point-of-contact between the Catholic hierarchy in India and the Pope (as head of the church). The Apostolic Nuncio to India is usually also the Apostolic Nuncio to [[Nepal]].

==History==
The [[diplomatic mission]] was established as the [[Apostolic Delegation]] to the East Indies in 1881, and included [[Ceylon]], and was extended to [[Malacca|Malaca]] in 1889, and then to [[Burma]] in 1920, and eventually included [[Goa]] in 1923. It was raised to an Internunciature by Pope Pius XII on 12 June 1948 and to a full [[Apostolic Nunciature]] by Pope Paul VI on 22 August 1967. Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) was detached in 1967, and Burma (now Myanmar) in 1973 (Malaca, as part of modern [[Malaysia]], being detached in 1957).
