The Apostolic Nunciature to Uruguay is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Uruguay. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.

Pope Pius XII established the Nunciature to Uruguay on 10 November 1939[1] after more than thirty years without any representation of the Holy See there.[2]
