Calatafimi-Segesta, commonly known as simply Calatafimi, is a comune and a small town in the province of Trapani, in Sicily, southern Italy.
The full name of the municipality was created in 1997 and is meant to highlight the presence within its territory of the 5th century BC Doric temple of Segesta, widely regarded as one of the most intact of its type. Adjoining the temple, on a nearby hilltop, there is a 2nd-century Roman amphitheater.
