Marathesium (Maratesium or Marathesion) was a polis of ancient Ionia on the coast south of Ephesus and a member of the Ionian League. Too small to stand independently, it has been classified as a dependent polis, first of Melia, then of Miletus after Melia was defeated in the Meliac War. Its remains are thought to lie within the Değirmendere quarter of Kuşadası in Aydın Province.
