The Anglican Church of Mexico (La Iglesia Anglicana de México) is the Anglican province in Mexico.

It can trace its roots to Mexico's war for independence in 1810. Religious reform in 1857 secured freedom of religion, separating the Roman Catholic Church from government and politics. In 1860, the newly formed Church of Jesus contacted the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, seeking leadership, guidance, and support. In 1958, the fourth missionary Bishop of Mexico was the first of the Church's bishops to be consecrated on Mexican soil. The Church became an autonomous Province of the Anglican Communion in 1995.

The are now twelve dioceses. The primate is the Presiding Bishop and Bishop of Mexico, The Most Revd. Carlos Touche-Porter.
