Saetia (pronounced SAY shuh) is a New York City based screamo band. While relatively unknown during their initial existence, the band is now seen as one of the most critically lauded bands of the late 1990s screamo scene. Stewart Mason of AllMusic described their music as an "essential document" for fans of screamo.

Saetia initially formed in February 1997 when each of its members were attending New York University. Their drummer, Greg Drudy, was the original drummer of the band Interpol prior to their current popularity. He operated the record label Level Plane, which was initially started so Saetia could release a 7 inch single to sell at shows. Other members of the band continued their musical careers in numerous outfits, some of them joining screamo bands such as Off Minor, Hot Cross and The Fiction, as well as the bands Errortype: Eleven and Instruction. The group would eventually break up in October 1999. Saetia's final, posthumous single, "Eronel" (also a title of a Thelonious Monk composition) was released under the Witching Hour label in 2000. The single contains three songs recorded by Steve Roche and mixed by Pat Kenneally. In 2001, Level Plane issued A Retrospective, a discography album that compiles every recording the band has made, including recordings taken from one of the last shows the band played at ABC No Rio.

In 2016, Secret Voice, the label of Touché Amoré vocalist Jeremy Bolm, released Collected, a two disc, 180 gram vinyl set that includes every studio recording by the group.

In April 2022, Saetia, consisting of Billy Werner, Jamie Behar, Adam Marino, Colin Bartoldus, and Steve Roche, announced via Instagram that they rehearsed for the first time in 24 years. In November 2022, they played live at four locations in New York and Pennsylvania.
