The former French Catholic diocese of Senez existed from around the fifth or sixth century, until the French Revolution . Its see was at Senez , in southern France, in the modern department of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence . After the Concordat of 1801 the territory of the diocese was added to that of the diocese of Digne .

Marcellus (Marcel), the first known bishop of Senez, attended the Council of Agde in 506; nevertheless, Senez must have been an episcopal city as early as 439.
Jean Soanen , the Oratorian , noted for his opposition to the papal bull Unigenitus , was Bishop of Senez from 1696 until the time of his deposition in 1727.[1]
