Claneus or Klaneos or Klaneous (Ancient Greek: Κλάνεος[1] or Κλανεοῦς[2]) was an ancient city and bishopric in Asia Minor. Its site is tentatively located near Turgut [tr], Yunak, Turkey.[3][4] Claneus was in the Roman province of either Phrygia Salutaris or Galatia Secunda.

It has been vacant for decades, and has had only these incumbents, of episcopal (lowest) rank:
