The Diocese of Dices,[1] is a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[2][3] The location of the seat of the diocese is unknown for certain, but is perhaps identifiable with Henchir-Sidi-Salah, Tunisia.[4] Henchir Sidi Salah was an ancient diocese in the Roman-Berber province of Byzacena.

There are two bishops documented in antiquity as being bishops of Dices.
- The Catholic, Massimino who attended the Council of Carthage (411) (There appears to have been at that time no Donatist bishops in Dices.)
- Candido who participated in the Council of Carthage (641).
Dices is now a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church.[5] The current bishop is Henryk Ciereszko, of Białystok.[6]
