The Archdeacons in the Diocese in Europe (full name: the Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe) are senior ecclesiastical officers of the Church of England Diocese in Europe. They each have responsibility over their own archdeaconry, of which there are currently seven, each of which is comprised of one or more deaneries, which are comprised in turn of chaplaincies (as opposed to the parishes of the mainland and Manx dioceses). They share this task with running a local church in their area.

The current roles of archdeacons are set down in the diocese's 1995 constitution.[1]
