  Serigene is an Ancient city and former bishopric in Roman Syria, now a Latin Catholic titular see.
  
  Its modern location is Isriyë, in present Syria.

  The diocese was nominally restored in 1994 as a Latin Catholic titular bishopric.
  
  It has had the following incumbents, of the lowest (episcopal) rank :
  
  * Titular Bishop Kajetán Matoušek (August 29, 1949 – death October 21, 1994), as Auxiliary Bishop of Prague (Praha) (the Czech Republic) (retired June 5, 1992)
