The Roman Catholic Diocese of Fada N'Gourma (Latin: Dioecesis Fada Ngurmaënsis) is a diocese located in the city of Fada N’Gourma in the ecclesiastical province of Koupéla in Burkina Faso.

• February 12, 1959: Established as Apostolic Prefecture of Fada N’Gourma from the Apostolic Prefecture of Niamey in Niger
• June 16, 1964: Promoted as Diocese of Fada N’Gourma

The cathedral is the Cathédrale Saint Joseph in Fada N’Gourma.

The Minor Seminary of Saint Kisito de Bougui was attacked by Jihadists on the night of February 10. No lives were lost, but severe material damage was reported. The attackers burned two dormitories, a classroom, and a vehicle. Another vehicle was stolen, according to charity Aid to the Church in Need.^[1] The seminary had to be moved to Fadi N'Gourma for safety reasons. In July 2022 the diocese claimed that over 90% of the villages were no longer accessible, due to the threat of Islamic terrorism, which has worsened since it began in 2005.^[2]
