Partenia (also spelled Parthenia) is a Roman Catholic titular see in present Algeria. Formerly a major city, the episcopal see was abandoned and consumed by the Sahara desert in the 5th century.

Bishop Jacques Gaillot of Évreux in France was placed in this titular see by Pope John Paul II as disciplinary action for Gailot's unorthodox and politically incendiary views of Church teaching. Gailot then established a website of his titular see.
