The Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Britain and Scandinavia or Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Britain and Scandinavia (Serbian: Српска православна епархија британско-скандинавска) was a Serbian Orthodox Church diocese in Western Europe. It was headquartered at Enskede gård, Stockholm, Sweden. It operated churches in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Missionary parishes in Ireland and Malta were operated by priests from England.[1] This diocese ceased to exist in May 2024 when the Holy Council of the Serbian Orthodox Church decided to split it in two: the Eparchy of Britain and Ireland and the Eparchy of Scandinavia.[2]
