Urusi was a civitas and ancient episcopal see of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis in present-day Tunisia.

The town flourished from 30BC until 640AD and has been tentatively identified with ruins at Henchir Soudga, () in Siliana Governorate. The ruins lie just outside the Jebel Serj National Park.
