Diocesan Synod Motions (DSMs) are motions passed by diocesan synods that have been referred to the General Synod. Once a DSM has been referred to the General Synod, it remains on the Agenda until it is either debated or withdrawn by the proposing diocese.

Diocesan Synod Motions are listed under the General Synod's Special Agenda IV. The other Special Agendas include Legislative Business (Special Agenda I), Liturgical Business (Special Agenda II), and Private Members' Motions (Special Agenda III).
