Rusellae was an important ancient town of Etruria, Italy, which survived until the Middle Ages before being abandoned. The impressive archaeological remains lie in the modern frazione of Roselle (), near the city of Grosseto, Tuscany.
The remains of the ancient buildings were brought to light by means of a long campaign of excavations carried out under archaeologist Clelia Laviosa beginning in the 1950s. More recent work has revealed many more impressive buildings.
