Sarsina () is an Italian town situated in the province of Forlì-Cesena, Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy, in the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines.
== History == thumb|Remains of the Roman forum.Ancient Sarsina or Sassina was a town of the Umbri in the Savio River valley. In 266 BC Roman consuls celebrated a triumph over the Sassinates. It is mentioned in the Fasti, and in the enumeration of the Italian allies of the Romans in 225 BCE the Umbri and Sassinates are mentioned, on an equal footing, as providing 20,000 men between them. It is possible that the tribus Sapinia (the name of which is derived from the river Sapis) mentioned by Livy in the account of the Roman marches against the Boii in 201 BC and 196 BC formed a part of the Sassinates. Remains of the Roman forum and necropolis can still be seen.
