The Diocese of Cibaliana (in Latin Rite Cibalianensis) is a home suppressed and titular of the Catholic Church.

Cibaliana, in modern Tunisia, is the seat of the ancient episcopal see. In the Roman Empire, it was a civitas of the Roman province of Byzacena.

There are two known bishops of this ancient episcopal see.

• Donato was present at the Council of Carthage of 256, where he discussed the problem of the Lapsi.
• The Donatist Bishop Cresconio, at the Council of Carthage in 411. There was no competitor Catholic bishop at this time.

Today Cibaliana survives as titular bishop; the current owner Bishop Geraldo Dantas de Andrade, former auxiliary bishop of São Luís do Maranhão.
