Voghiera is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Ferrara in the northeastern Italian region Emilia-Romagna, located about 45 kilometres (28 mi) northeast of Bologna and about 13 kilometres (8 mi) southeast of Ferrara.
As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 3,924 and an area of 40.5 square kilometres (15.6 sq mi).
The municipality of Voghiera contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Ducentola, Gualdo, Montesanto and Voghenza (a former bishopric).
Voghiera borders the following municipalities: Argenta, Ferrara, Masi Torello and Portomaggiore.

It is now included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.
In 1966 the diocese was nominally restored as Latin Titular bishopric of Voghenza (Curiate Italian) or Vicohabentia in Latin, adjective Vicohabentin(us).
It has had the following incumbents, of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank, with an archiepiscopal promotion in this title as exception :
