The Versum de Mediolano civitate ("Verse of the City of Milan") or Versus in laudem mediolanensis civitatis ("Verse in Praise of the City of Milan") is an early medieval Latin verse encomium (praise) of Milan, written anonymously around 738, during the era of the Lombard Kingdom.

The piety of the Milanese, their wealth, and their close connection with the Lombard kings are also cited in support of its pre-eminence among the cities of northern Italy.
