thumb|The Celsi coat of arms - 'D'azzurro, alla banda d'oro accostata da due cotisse del medesimo accompagnate da 6 D in carattere gotico pure del medesimo' The House of Celsi was a patrician family in Venice. Its most notable members were doge Lorenzo Celsi and soldier Bartolomeo Celsi.
Traditionally held to have originated in Ravenna, the family is first documented in 1122 with Vitale Celsi's mention in a pact between the Baresi and Domenico Michiel. Paolo Celsi was one of those who elected doge Orio Mastropiero in 1178, whilst in 1202 Pietro Celsi commanded the gallies in Enrico Dandolo's reconquest of Zara. Nicolò Celsi was recorded as Procurator of Saint Mark in 1268 and as having died in 1277.
