Prisca was a young Roman woman allegedly tortured and executed for her Christian faith. The dates of her birth and death are unknown. She is revered as a saint and martyr in Eastern Orthodoxy, by the Catholic Church, and in the Anglican Communion.

Though some legends suggest otherwise, scholars do not believe she is the Priscilla (Prisca) of the New Testament couple Priscilla and Aquila, who were friends of the Apostle Paul.^[1]

She is honored, especially in England, as a child martyr. January 18 is her feast day.
