Ksour-El-Khaoua is a locality in southern Tunisia, North Africa.[1] During the Roman Empire the town was a civitas (town) in the Roman province of Byzacena.[2] and the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric.[3]

The ancient Christian bishopric[4] survives today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[5][6][7]

The only Bishop known from this diocese is Stefano, who participated in the Council of Carthage (641). The current titular bishop of the town is John Stephen Knight.[8]
