Eluza (or Iluza) is a former Ancient city and bishopric in Asia Minor, which remains a Latin Catholic titular see.
Its site is at the modern Acemlar, in Anatolia (Asian Turkey).
History[]
Eluza was important enough in the late Roman province of Phrygia Pacatiana Prima to become a suffragan of Laodicea in Phrygia (Laodicea on the Lycus), the Metropolitan Archbishopric, but faded like most.

Titular see[]
The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Latin Titular bishopric of Eluza (Latin = Curiate Italian), Latin adjective Eluzan (US).
It is vacant since decades, having had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :
- Raimundo de Castro e Silva (1950.06.17 – 1954.11.17) as Auxiliary Bishop of Archdiocese of Teresina (Brazil) (1950.06.17 – 1954.11.17); later Bishop of Oeiras (Brazil) (1954.11.17 – 1957.11.09), then Titular Bishop of Uzalis (1957.11.09 – 1991.08.02) as Auxiliary Bishop of Archdiocese of Fortaleza (Brazil) (1957.11.09 – death 1991.08.02)
- Lawrence Frederik Schott (1956.03.01 – death 1963.03.11) as Auxiliary Bishop of Harrisburg (USA) (1956.03.01 – 1963.03.11)
- Nivaldo Monte (1963.04.25 – 1967.09.06) as Auxiliary Bishop of Archdiocese of Aracaju (Brazil) (1963.04.25 – 1967.09.06) and Apostolic Administrator sede plena of Archdiocese of Natal (Brazil) (1965 – 1967.09.06), later succeeding as Metropolitan Archbishop of Natal (1967.09.06 – 1988.04.06).
