Sentinum was a Roman town now located about a kilometre south of the present-day town of Sassoferrato in the Marche region of Italy.

Two areas of the town, the forum/urban baths and the suburban baths, can be visited today[1] protected as an archaeological park.[2]

The local museum contains many finds from Sentinum.
