The Baths of the Rotonda (Italian: Terme della Rotonda) are the archaeological remains of a Roman public bath complex located in Catania, Sicily. Dating from between the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, the baths lie in close proximity to the Roman Theatre and the Odeon.

During the Byzantine era, the site was transformed with the construction of the church of Santa Maria della Rotonda, recognizable for its distinctive dome built directly upon the ancient Roman structure. The church's interior walls still preserve remarkable medieval and Baroque frescoes.
