Flavia Maxima Fausta Augusta[a] (died 326 AD) was a Roman empress. She was the daughter of Maximian and wife of Constantine the Great, who had her executed and excluded from all official accounts for unknown reasons. Historians Zosimus and Zonaras reported that she was executed for adultery with her stepson, Crispus.

Fausta was the daughter of the emperor Maximian and his wife Eutropia. As her age is nowhere outright attested, scholarly estimates have ranged from 289/290[4] to the end of the 290s.[5][6] To seal the alliance between them for control of the Tetrarchy, Maximian married her to Constantine I in 307.[7]
