Gravisca (Cravsca in Etruscan and Graviscae Latin^[1]) was the port of the Etruscan city of Tarquinii, situated 8 km west of the city center.^[2]^[3]

The Etruscan settlement, occupied ca. sixth to third centuries BC, had four principal occupational phases from ca. 600 to 250 B.C.^[4] It was superseded by the establishment of a colonia of Roman citizenship at the site in 181 BC.^[5] The port functioned as an emporion and there is ample evidence for merchants and perhaps Greek artisans based at the site.^[6] The cults of numerous Greek gods, including Aphrodite, Hera,^[7] Demeter, and Apollo, are attested.

The port is mentioned by name in book 10, line 23 of the Aeneid.^[8]
