Katakekaumene or Catacecaumene (Greek: Κατακεκαυμένη) was a name for a district in Lydia (modern western Turkey), and a union of ten cities in the area, during the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

The name means "burnt land"^[2]^[3] or "burnt country",^[4] referring to the pitch-black color of the lava^[5] and the dormant volcanic belt of Kula,^[6] which was first described by Strabo.^[7] Strabo reported that a place named Katakekaumene was the site of the mythological battle between Zeus and the giant Typhon.^[8]
