The Eparchy of Budimlja and Nikšić or Budimlja–Nikšić (Serbian: Епархија будимљанско-никшићка / Eparhija budimljansko-nikšićka) is an eparchy (diocese) of the Serbian Orthodox Church, covering eastern, central, and western parts of modern Montenegro. The ecclesiastical seat of the eparchy is the Monastery of Đurđevi Stupovi in Berane. Since 2021 it has been headed by Metodije, bishop of Budimlja and Nikšić. In 1219, the autocephaly of the Eastern Orthodox Church in medieval Serbia was established by Saint Sava, who was consecrated as the first Serbian archbishop by Patriarch Manuel I of Constantinople and who was residing at that time in Nicaea. On that occasion, the region of Budimlja in the upper Lim valley was detached from the old Eparchy of Raška, and on that territory the new Eparchy of Budimlja was created, centered in the Monastery of Đurđevi Stupovi, previously founded by Stefan Prvoslav, cousin of Saint Sava.
