Cesiomaggiore is a comune (municipality) in the Italian region of Veneto, located about northwest of Venice and about southwest of Belluno.

The name Cesio derives from the gens Coesia, a noble family from Ravenna that, during the Roman Empire, controlled this territory through a fortified castle, which later passed to the Facino family. The Via Claudia Augusta Altinate passed through Cesiomaggiore, coming from the Venetian lagoon and continuing beyond the Alps.
