The diocese of Rhandus is a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church in the Roman province of Mesopotamia. The bishopric was centered on the town of Tur Abdin (in southeast Turkey) and was subordinate to Dara.
The history of the Bishopric goes back to earliest episcopal activity in Roman Mesopotamia. Although Catholic interests are no longer active in the area, the Syriac Orthodox Church maintains churches and a number of Monasteries there.
