Espira (del alemán: Speyer) (?·i)) es una ciudad del estado federado alemán de Renania-Palatinado. Tiene aproximadamente 50 000 habitantes y está localizada a orillas del río Rin, 25 km al sur de Mannheim y 25 km al norte de Karlsruhe. Fue fundada por los romanos, lo que convierte a Espira en una de las ciudades más antiguas de Alemania. En la antigüedad, la zona se conocía como Noviomagus y Civitas Nemetum, de la tribu teutónica de los németes, que estaban asentados en la zona. La ciudad está dominada por la catedral de Espira, numerosas iglesias y la Puerta Vieja (Altportal). En la catedral, detrás del altar mayor se sitúan las tumbas de ocho emperadores del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico.
