The Armenian Catholic Archeparchy of Aleppo (or Halab or Beroea) (informally Aleppo if the Armenians) is a non-Metropolitan Archeparchy (Eastern Catholic Archdiocese) of the Armenian Catholic Church sui iuris (Armenian Rite in Armenian language) in part of Syria.

It is directly dependent on the Armenian Catholic Patriarch of Cilicia, without being part of his or any other ecclesiastical province.

Its cathedral archiepiscopal see is the Marian Notre-Dame des Dons Armenian Catholic Cathedral, in Halab (Aleppo), Syria.
