Santa Severa is a frazione of the comune of Santa Marinella, in the province of Rome, Lazio, Italy. It is a small sea resort on the Via Aurelia, c. 8 km south to Santa Marinella and 50 km north to Rome.
It takes its name from the Christian martyr of the 2nd century. The village includes a small medieval burgh with a 9th century castle facing the sea, where once the ancient Etruscan port of Pyrgi was located. The Pyrgi Tablets were found here in 1964.
