In Christianity, an archbishop is a bishop of higher rank or office. In most cases, such as the Catholic Church, there are many archbishops who either have jurisdiction over an ecclesiastical province in addition to their own archdiocese, and some who hold non-metropolitan sees or are otherwise granted a titular archbishopric. In others, such as the Lutheran Church of Sweden, the title is borne by the leader of the denomination. thumb|The Archbishop of Uppsala is the primate of the [[Church of Sweden.

An archbishop is a senior bishop in the Christian church who holds a higher rank or broader responsibilities than ordinary bishops. The role varies across different Christian denominations—in the Catholic Church, archbishops typically oversee larger regions called ecclesiastical provinces, while in some churches like the Lutheran Church of Sweden, the title designates the head of the entire denomination.
