Naratcata was the seat of an ancient episcopal see of the Roman province of Numidia. The location of the diocese seat and cathedra is not known but presumably was a place called Naratcatensis and was somewhere in today's Algeria.[1]

There are two known bishops of Naratcata:

The diocese ceased to function with the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb but was re-established in name in 1933.[2] Today Naratcata survives as a titular bishopric and the bishop is Jean-Pierre Kwambamba Masi, of Kinshasa, who replaced Fernando Bascopé Müller in 2014.
