The Roman Catholic Diocese of Mende (Latin: Diocoesis Mimatensis), is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in France. The diocese covers the department of Lozère.
A suffragan of Bourges under the ancien régime, it was re-established by the Concordat of 1801 as a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Lyons and united with the department of Ardèche, which however it lost again in 1822 by the creation of the Diocese of Viviers, when Mende became suffragan to Albi. On December 16, 2002, Mende was made a suffragan to Montpellier. It has its seat at Mende Cathedral.
