The Diocese of Montenegro, a suffragan diocese of the Latin Rite, was a historic diocese in the region of modern Montenegro. No verifiable records confirm its establishment, boundaries, or suppression through primary Church documents or Catholic-Hierarchy.org. Hagiographic traditions occasionally reference early Christian communities in the area, but these cannot be confirmed as referring to a formal diocese of this name. Evidence suggests any Catholic presence in the territory fell under neighboring sees such as the Archdiocese of Bar or the Diocese of Kotor.
