Thucca Terenbenthina, also known as Thugga, was an ancient Roman-Berber town in the province of African Proconsularis. In late antiquity, it was made a municipium of the province of Byzacena. Thucca Terenbenthina is identified with ruins located in the modern town of Dougga, Tunisia.

Thucca Terenbenthina was also seat of a (small but[1][2]) ancient bishopric and remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church to this day.
