Il mausoleo di Costantina, meglio conosciuto come mausoleo di santa Costanza, è un luogo di culto cattolico di Roma situato in via Nomentana, all'interno del complesso monumentale di Sant'Agnese fuori le mura.

Fu fatto costruire tra il 340 e il 345, come proprio mausoleo, da Costantina, figlia di Costantino I, a ridosso della basilica costantiniana, presso la sepoltura di sant'Agnese, della quale Costantina era una devota. Vi furono sepolte sia Costantina sia la sorella Elena. L'edificio fu detto "di Santa Costanza" quando Costantina venne venerata come santa.
Il mausoleo, come la basilica al cui fianco sinistro era collegato, fu di proprietà imperiale, e non ecclesiastica, e dopo esser stato utilizzato come battistero della basilica di Sant'Agnese fuori le mura, divenne chiesa autonoma nel 1254 per volere di papa Alessandro IV.
