Columella

Lucius Junius Moderatus Columella (; 4 – s. 70 M) adalah seorang penulis berpengaruh tentang pertanian pada zaman kekaisaran Romawi.

Karya dua belas De Re Rustica buatannya sepenuhnya menyajikan dan membtnuk sumber penting tentang pertanian Romawi, bersama dengan karya-karya Cato the Elder dan Varro, keduanya terkadang ia kutip. Buku kecil tentang pohon, De arboribus, biasanya diatributkan kepadanya.

Pada 1794, botanis Spanyol Jose Antonio Pavón y Jimenez dan Hipólito Ruiz López menamai genus asterid Peru Columellia untuk menghormatinya.
