Uxama Argaela was a Celtiberian city located on El Castro hill overlooking the present town of El Burgo de Osma in Soria, Spain. It actively participated in the Celtiberian Wars (153–133 BC) and was conquered by Rome in 99 BC. The city became a Roman municipality under Tiberius, but later supported the cause of the Roman rebel Quintus Sertorius against Rome. It was destroyed by Pompey the Great in 72 BC. According to Pliny and Ptolemy, it was one of the communities of the Conventus Iuridicus Cluniensis province in Hispania Tarraconensis.
