Lamsorti was an Ancient city and bishopric in Roman North Africa, which only remains a Latin Catholic titular see.

== History == Lamsorti, at the site of Henchir-Mâfouna in present Algeria, was among many cities of sufficient importance in the Roman province of Numidia to become a suffragan diocese, but destined to fade, plausibly at the seventh century advent of Islam.
