The Diocese of Fez (Fes, Fecen(sis) or Fessen(sis)) was a Latin Church diocese established around 1225 in the territory of modern Morocco, without direct predecessor.
Its only resident incumbent Ordinary was :
Bishop Agnello (1225 – 1237.06.12), later Bishop of Marocco (Marrakech) (1237.06.12 – ?)
Suppressed circa 1237, its territory being merged into the Diocese of Marocco (at Marrakech, also in present Morocco), to which its incumbent bishop Agnello was appointed.
