Serra is a titular see of the Catholic Church.

It goes back to a defunct bishopric in the ancient city Serra in the Roman province of Africa proconsularis (today in northern Tunisia). The bishopric was in the ecclesiastical province of Carthage.

The Holy See identifies the titular see as "Serrensi in Proconsulari"[1] as well as "Serra".
