Roman Catholic Diocese of Dragonara

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Dragonara (Latin: Dioecesis Dragonariensis) was a Roman Catholic diocese located in the town of Torremaggiore in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. It was established as a diocese ca. 1030. On 21 February 1580, the diocese was suppressed, and its territory and Catholic population were assigned to the Diocese of San Severo.

In 1968 the title of Bishop of Dragonara, though not the diocese itself, was revived as a titular See.
