The Laterculus Veronensis is a list of Roman provinces from the times of the Roman emperors Diocletian and Constantine I. The list is preserved only in a 7th-century manuscript, which is being kept in a monastery library in Verona. The document is sometimes called Verona List.

The list contains the 12 newly created dioceses with about 100 provinces in total. It was first published in Otto Seeck's edition of the Notitia dignitatum (1876). Theodor Mommsen had dated the provincial situation in the list to 297, but later research has changed the estimate to 314–324 for the Eastern Half and 303–314 for the Western Half of the Roman empire.
