Decimus Caelius Calvinus Balbinus (* vor 178; † Anfang [?] Mai 238 in Rom) war im Sechskaiserjahr von Ende Januar oder Anfang Februar (?) 238 bis zu seinem Tod gut drei Monate später römischer Kaiser. Er wurde zusammen mit Pupienus vom römischen Senat gewählt, nachdem es Gordian I. und Gordian II. nicht gelungen war, den zum Staatsfeind erklärten Kaiser Maximinus Thrax zu besiegen.
