Ardea, an ancient town and comune in the province of Rome, 41°37N 12°33E, 37 m (121 feet) above sea-level. It is 35 km (22 mi) S of Rome and about 4 km (2.5 mi) from today's Mediterranean coast.

In Antiquity, it was most often mentioned in connection with the Via Ardeatina, one of the consular roads, to which it gave its name. Columella owned a farm there.

In 443 BC the Volscians laid siege to Ardea. The siege was soon broken by Roman troops under the leadership of Geganius.
