The Eparchy of Lungro is an Eastern Catholic eparchy of the Italo-Albanian Catholic Church (Byzantine Rite) in Calabria, Italy, erected on 13 February 1919 for Byzantine-rite Catholics of Albanian descent. It is immediately subject to the Holy See and is led by Eparch Donato Oliverio. Note: the source brief listed this as Latin rite, but it is in fact a Byzantine (Italo-Albanian) eparchy.
