The Bishopric of Lebus (German: Bistum Lebus; Polish:


Diecezja lubuska) was a Roman Catholic diocese of
Poland and later an ecclesiastical territory of the Holy Ro-
man Empire. It existed from 1125 until 1598. The dio-
cese encompassed areas on both sides of the Oder River
around the town of Lebus later called Lubusz Land.
