The Diocese of Agen (Latin: Dioecesis Agennensis; French: Diocèse d'Agen) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in France.[1]
The Diocese of Agen comprises the département of Lot-et-Garonne, in the région of Aquitaine. It has been successively suffragan to the Archdioceses of Bordeaux (under the old regime), Toulouse (1802–1822), and Bordeaux again (since 1822).[2]
