Mitocu Dragomirnei (German: Mitoka Dragomirna) is a commune located in Suceava County, in the historical region of Bukovina, northeastern Romania. It is composed of four villages: Dragomirna, Lipoveni (formerly Socolinți), Mitocași, and Mitocu Dragomirnei. The Dragomirna Monastery is situated in this commune.
In the past, the commune was inhabited by a sizeable German minority, more specifically by Bukovina Germans, from the late 18th century up until the beginning of World War II.[3] The Roman Catholic church they built still stands to this day.[4]
