The 85-year-old singer-songwriter, born Robert Allen Zimmerman, is currently in Italy on tour.
A report on the official Vatican News website said the meeting was "brief, consisting of greetings and a few lighthearted exchanges".
The pope gave Dylan a rosary and the singer gifted the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics his autobiography, the report said.
