Η Σηλυβρία ή Σηλυμβρία (τουρκικά: Silivri) είναι πόλη Ανατολικής Θράκης στη ακτή της Προποντίδας. Βρίσκεται κοντά στην Κωνσταντινούπολη, της οποίας και ήταν προπύργιο κατά τα βυζαντινά χρόνια. Ωστόσο, η κατάληξη -βρία, η οποία έχει αρχαία θρακική ρίζα, υποδηλώνει ότι η περιοχή κατοικούνταν από την αρχαιότητα.
