thumb|right|Africa Proconsularis (125 AD) Septimunicia () is a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church. The location is not certain, but assumed to be in Tunisia. Today Settimunicia survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is Emilio Bataclan, of Cebu.
==History== Septimunicia goes back to an earlier bishopric in the Roman province of Byzacena in the Sahel region of present-day Tunisia. The exact location of the seat of the bishopric is unknown but it was supposed to be at the foot of a high mountain called Burgaon, which appears to be a branch of the Dsaletus, Mount Uselet. The ruins of Oglet-El-Metnem or Henchir-El-Bliaa in modern Tunisia, have both been suggested as its site.
