The Diocese of Cingoli was a Roman Catholic diocese in Italy. It was founded in the 5th century. Nothing is heard of the diocese or of its bishops after the sixth decade of the 6th century. The time and reason for its cease is speculative. It was contained within the Papal States. The diocese was always immediately subject to the Holy See (Papacy). The effort to revive the diocese of Cingoli was begun during the reign of Pope Innocent XIII, the initiative coming from the town of Cingoli itself. Having received their memorial, on 26 August 1721, the Pope requested from Cardinal Orazio Spada his comments on each of the items mentioned by the Public of Cingoli. Archbishop Giustino Fontanini prepared a memorial of the information relevant to making a decision; it was dated 20 May 1723. Unfortunately Pope Innocent died on 7 March 1724, before the bulls could be prepared. The matter was left to the new pope, Benedict XIII (Orsini). In 1725, by virtue of the Bull "Romana Ecclesia" of 19 August 1725, Pope Benedict XIII revived the diocese of Cingoli, and united it aeque principaliter with the Diocese of Osimo to form the Diocese of Osimo e Cingoli.
