The Italian Catholic Diocese of Savona-Noli (Latin: Dioecesis Savonensis-Naulensis) in northern Italy, was historically the Diocese of Savona, from the tenth century. In 1820 the Diocese of Noli was united to the Diocese of Savona. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Genoa.
Of the 71 parishes 68 lie within the Province of Savona, Liguria. The remaining three are in the neighbouring commune of Cogoleto, Province of Genoa, also in Liguria. In 2014 there was one Catholic priest for every 1,600 Catholics.
