The '''Diocese of Midica''' (in [[Latin]]: Dioecesis Midicensis) is a suppressed venue and head office of the Catholic Church. Midica, near [[Sfax]] in today's [[Tunisia]], is an [[Late antiquity|ancient]] episcopal [[cathedra|seat]] of  the [[Roman province|province]] of [[Byzacena]].<ref>[http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/d3m15.html Entry] at www.catholic-hierarchy.org.</ref><ref>[http://www.gcatholic.org/dioceses/former/t1156.htm Entry] at www.gcatholic.org.</ref><ref> [[Pius Bonifacius Gams]], [http://www.wbc.poznan.pl/dlibra/doccontent?id=65154&dirids=1 ''Series episcoporum Ecclesiae Catholicae''], ([[Leipzig]], 1931), p.&nbsp;467.</ref><ref>Stefano Antonio Morcelli, [https://books.google.com/books?id=dO4-AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA226 ''Africa christiana''], Volume I, Brescia 1816, p.&nbsp;226.</ref>
The only known bishop of this African diocese is the [[Donatist]] [[bishop]] Mark, who took part in the [[Council of Carthage (411)|411 Carthaginian conference]], between the Catholic and Donatist bishops. The seat on that occasion had no Catholic bishops.
Today Midica survives as a [[titular bishop]]ric and the current [[bishop]] is [[Leonard William Kenney]], auxiliary [[bishop of Birmingham]].
