Cea (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈθea], rarely Ceia) is a municipality located in the province of León, Castile and León, Spain. According to the 2010 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 530 inhabitants.

Historically, there was a Sephardic Jewish community in Cea, first recorded in 1110. Most of the Jews maintained professions in agriculture. In 1492, the community fled during the expulsion of the Jews from Spain.[2] Cea is mentioned in the 10th century text Nodicia de kesos.
