The Diocese of Lanusei (Latin: Dioecesis Oleastrensis) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in eastern Sardinia, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. Before 1986, the vernacular name was the diocese of Ogliastra (diocesi di Ogliastra); it retains the name Oleastrensis in official Latin reference, but in Italian it is the diocese of Lanusei. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari.
