Aquae in Proconsulari is a former Ancient city and bishopric in Roman Africa and present Latin Catholic titular see.

Its modern location is Henchir-El-Baghla, in present Tunisia.

Aquae Novae was important enough in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis to become one of the many suffragans of its capital Carthage's Metropolitan Archbishopric, but faded.

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as a titular bishopric.^[1]

It has had the following incumbents,^[2] all of the lowest (episcopal) rank :

• José Fernandes Veloso (1966.03.23 – 1981.11.26), as Auxiliary Bishop of Roman Catholic Diocese of Petropolis (Brazil) (1966.03.23 – 1981.11.26), later promoted Coadjutor Bishop of Petrópolis (1981.11.26 – 1984.02.15) and succeeding as Bishop of Petrópolis (1984.02.15 – 1995.11.15)
