The Diocese of Moldovița was a relatively short-lived (i.e. 1418–1550) Latin bishopric in the Bukovina region of present-day northeastern Romania (more specifically in Suceava County ).
History
In 1418, a Latin Diocese of Moldovita / Moldawitza / Suczawa [i.e. Suceava in Polish] / Moldavien(sis) (Latin adjective) was established in the Principality of Moldavia .
In 1550, it was suppressed, without direct successor.
Recorded incumbents were as follows:
