  The Diocese of Gisipa (Latin: Rite Gisipensis) is a home suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.
  
  ## Location
  
  The bishopric of Gisipa, was centered on a Roman town called Gisipam, the location of which is now lost to history, although being in Africa Proconsularis it is certain that it was in what is modern north Tunisia.
  
  ## History
  
  The sources mention four bishops.
  
  * The Catholic bishop, Gennaro attended the Council of Carthage (411)
  * Carissimo took part in the Synod of Carthage in 484 called by the Vandal king Huneric, after which Carissimo was exiled
  * Redento attended the Council of Carthage (525)
