La Chiesa latina è l'insieme di quelle chiese particolari − "nelle quali e dalle quali sussiste la sola e unica Chiesa cattolica" − sorte nelle parti occidentali dell'Impero romano, dove il latino era la lingua di studio e cultura, e che oggi usano nella propria liturgia i riti liturgici latini, quali quello romano e quello ambrosiano.
