AbstractWe discuss the continuum limit of discrete Dirac operators on the square lattice in $${\mathbb {R}}^2$$

and allowed to be complex matrix-valued. We also prove that the discrete Dirac operators do not converge to the continuum Dirac operators in the norm resolvent sense. This is closely related to the observation that the Liouville theorem does not hold in discrete complex analysis.
