Antiochia Lamotis (Шаблон:Lang-el), Antiochia in Isauria (Шаблон:Lang), or Antiochia super Cragum[1] is a Hellenistic city in ancient Cilicia, Anatolia at the mouth of Lamos (or Lamus) river. The site is on the coast a few km southwest of Erdemli, Mersin Province, Turkey.

During Roman times, it was capital of the Lamotis Region, Cilicia.[2] The town also bore the name Lamus or Lamos (Λάμος). The river is mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium,[3] and both the river and the town by Strabo[4] and Ptolemy.[5] The river, which is otherwise of no importance, formed the boundary between Cilicia Aspera and Cilicia Propria.

The town later became the seat of a bishop; no longer a residential bishopric, it remains a titular see in the Roman Catholic Church under the name of Lamus.[6]
