The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tingzhou/Changting (Latin: Timceuven(sis), Chinese: 汀州/長汀) is a diocese co-extensive with the Chinese imperial prefecture Tingzhou fu. The cathedral is located in the present-day Tingzhou town.

Post-revolutionary facts on the ground notwithstanding, the diocese remains in the ecclesiastical province of Fuzhou, under the Metropolitan See at Fuzhou.
