Caesarea Maritima vagy Caesarea Stratonis [1] (koiné görög: Καισάρεια, Kaisáreia; héber: קֵיסָרְיָה) vagy egyszerűen csak palesztinai Cézárea [2] történelmi város Izrael tengerpartján. A mai Tel-Aviv és Haifa között mintegy félúton feküdt, a mai Caesarea települése mellett.

The capital of Byzantine Palestine and of Palaestina Prima was Caesarea-Palaestina, 'Caesarea of Palestine' (von Suchem 1971: 7, 111; 2013; Gilman et al. 1905). This city was also called 'Caesarea by the Sea', or Caesarea Maritima. Since the creation of Israel in 1948 historians in the West have tended to avoid referring to the historic name of the Palestinian city, Caesarea-Palaestina, and use only the name Caesarea Maritima.
