Сираку́зы (др.-греч. Συρακοῦσαι, лат. Syracusae) — одна из первых эллинских колоний на восточном берегу Сицилии, основанная, по преданию, коринфянами под предводительством Архия в 734 году до н. э. Впоследствии самый большой и богатый город на Сицилии, а применительно к III веку до н. э. — также и самый крупный по площади город античности. Руины древнего города — памятник Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО. Ныне на месте Сиракуз стоит итальянский город Сиракузы.
