The Diocese of Aleria (Latin Dioecesis Aleriensis) was a Roman Catholic residential diocese of the Latin rite, a suffragan of the metropolitan archdiocese of Pisa from at least the eleventh century until 1801.[1][2] It has been a titular diocese since 2004. The seat was at Aléria on the east coast of Corsica.

There is some evidence that Corsica was being converted to Christianity in the late 6th century. Pope Gregory the great wrote in 597 to Bishop Peter of Alaria to recover lapsed converts and to convert more pagans from the worship of trees and stones. He sent him money for baptismal robes.[3] In 601, however, Aleria was without a bishop.

On 29 November 1801, in accordance with the Napoleontic Concordat of 1801, it was suppressed as the territory of the diocese of Ajaccio was extended to the whole of Corsica. At the end of the Ancien Régime, the bishop no longer lived in Aléria, but in Cervione.

Today, Aleria is no longer a residential bishopric, but was restored as a titular see in April 2004.[4] It has had only one incumbent to date, of the lowest (episcopal) rank.
