The Diocese of Cefalù (Latin: Dioecesis Cephaludensis) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in north-central Sicily. Under the Greek church in the 8th and 9th centuries, it was a suffragan of the metropolitanate of Syracuse in the Patriarchate of Constantinople. When the Latin rite diocese was founded under the Normans, in 1131, it became a suffragan of the archdiocese of Messina. In 2000, Pope John Paul II made the diocese of Cefalù a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Palermo.
