Gereja Katolik Siro-Malabar

Gereja Katolik Siro-Malabar (: Edtha d'Malabar Suryaya atau Gereja Suriah Malabar) adalah sebuah Gereja Episkopal Agung Utama dalam komuni penuh dengan Gereja Katolik. Gereja tersebut dikepalai oleh Uskup Agung Ytama Ernakulam-Angamaly, Kardinal Mar George Alencherry. Anggota-anggota Gereja tersebut dikenal sebagai Nasrani Mar Thoma atau Katolik Suriah. Gereja tersebut adalah denominasi Nasrani terbesar dengan sekitar 4.6 juta pengikut dan asal mulanya berasal dari aktivitas penginjilan Tomas pada abad ke-1.<ref>NSC Network (2007) [http://nasrani.net/2007/02/16/st-thomas-tradition-the-indian-sojourn-in-foreign-sources St. Thomas, India mission- Early reference and testimonies ] </ref>
