The Apostolic Delegation to Somalia represents the interests of the Holy See in Somalia to officials of the Catholic Church, civil society, and government offices. The Holy See and the government of Somalia have not established diplomatic relations and the position of Apostolic Delegate to Somalia is not a diplomatic one, though the Delegate is a member of the diplomatic service of the Holy See. The Delegate normally holds the title Apostolic Nuncio to Ethiopia and resides in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The Holy See managed its affairs in Somalia through an Apostolic Delegation to the Red Sea Region established in 1969.[1] Pope John Paul II created the Delegation to Somalia on 26 March 1992 as part of the reorganization of that delegation into the Delegation to the Arabian Peninsula and several country-specific bodies.[2]
