The Diocese of Montemarano (Latin: Dioecesis Montis Marani) was a Roman Catholic diocese located in the town of Montemarano in the province of Avellino in the Campania region of southern Italy. It was erected in 1059, and was a member of the ecclesiastical province of Benevento. In 1818, the diocese was suppressed, and its territory and Catholic population was assigned to the Diocese of Nusco.^[1][2] The diocese of Nusco has been absorbed, since 30 September 1986, into the agglomerate Archdiocese of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi-Conza-Nusco-Bisaccia.

The diocese of Montemarano was nominally restored as a titular bishopric in 1968, which were needed with the increase in the number of auxiliary bishops, vicars apostolic, papal nuncios, and Vatican bureaucrats who needed nominal episcopal status.^[2]
