The Syro-Malabar Catholic Archeparchy of Thalassery (anglicised - Tellicherry) is an archeparchy of the Syro-Malabar Church in communion with the See of Rome.

The diocese covers an area of 18,000 km² and a Catholic population of 273,826. Since 2014, George Njaralakatt is the Metropolitan Archbishop.
The ecclesiastical province came into existence on 31 December 1953 through the Papal bull Ad Christi Ecclesiam Regendam issued by Pope Pius XII.

Malabar Migration
The history of the Malabar Migration and that of the ecclesiastical province of Thalassery are closely connected. The Thalassery diocese took up the struggle of the settlers, who were mostly Syriac Rite Catholics not accustomed to Roman Rite ceremonies. Petitions were sent to the Holy See by the bishops of the settlers, who had migrated to the British Malabar since 1930, requesting for a diocese of their own. Cardinal Tisserant, the Prefect of the Oriental Congregation came to Malabar and personally saw the pitiable situation of the settlers. With the help of locals and priests, they started to make changes in the region.
