Le catacombe di San Callisto fanno parte del cosiddetto complesso callistiano, un'area di circa 30 ettari compresa tra la via Appia Antica, la via Ardeatina e la via delle Sette Chiese, a Roma, che ospita diverse aree funerarie e catacombali.
Le catacombe sono sorte verso la fine del II secolo, con alcuni ipogei cristiani privati e da un'area funeraria direttamente dipendente dalla chiesa romana. Prendono nome dal diacono Callisto I, preposto da papa Zefirino all'amministrazione del cimitero stesso. Salito a sua volta al soglio pontificio, Papa Callisto I ingrandì il complesso funerario, che ben presto divenne quello ufficiale della Chiesa.
