The Prince-Bishopric of Worms was an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire.

Located on both banks of the Rhine around Worms just north of the union of that river with the Neckar, it was largely surrounded by the Electorate of the Palatinate.

The prince-bishops however retained jurisdiction over the Cathedral of Worms inside the city.

During the Worms massacre in 1096, Bishop Adalbert II attempted to protect the city’s Jewish community by sheltering them in his palace, but his attempt to protect them werre ultimately unsuccessful.

In 1795 Worms itself, as well as the entire territory of the prince-bishopric on the left bank of the Rhine, was occupied and annexed by France.
