Russicada was the Mediterranean port city serving Cirta, the capital of the Kingdom of Numidia in Ancient Algeria.

It overlooked the straits between Sicily (Europe) and Numidia (Africa), an important place in geopolitical strategies at the time.

In literature

It is mentioned by the medieval chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth in his pseudo-historical accounts of the mythical kings of Britain and their deeds as "Rusicada" — a Latin spelling easily confused with the moth genus Rusicada.
