Diocesan Synod Nivariense (in Spanish: Sínodo Diocesano Nivariense, in Latin: Synodus Dioecesani Nivariensis) was an important meeting of the clergy and laity of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Cristóbal de La Laguna (Canary Islands, Spain). It was the first diocesan synod in the history of this diocese created in 1819 by Pope Pius VII and also called Diocese of Tenerife or Diocese Nivariense, hence the name of the synod.
