The **diocese of Cene** (Latin: *Dioecesis Cenensis*) is a suppressed and [titular see](/source/Titular_see)[1] of the [Roman Catholic Church](/source/Roman_Catholic_Church). [2][3]

Cenae, identifiable with the island of [Kneiss](/source/Kneiss) in today's [Tunisia](/source/Tunisia), are an ancient bishopric of the [Roman province](/source/Roman_province) of [Mauretania Caesariensis](/source/Mauretania_Caesariensis).[4] There are only two bishops, Bonifacius and Vindemius, who took part in the 411 Carthaginian conference, which saw the Catholic baptists and donatists of Africa together.

In the life of Saint [Fulgentius](/source/Fulgentius_of_Ruspe) (6th century), the monk Ferrandus remembers that the saint retired to a [monastery](/source/Monastery) on the island. Archaeological excavations conducted in 1941 brought to light evidence and finds identifiable with this monastery.[5]

Today the diocese survives as a [titular see](/source/Titular_see), and the current bishop is Sergi Gordo Rodríguez, auxiliary bishop of [Barcelona](/source/Barcelona).
