Hyllarima was an ancient city in the Anatolian region of Caria in the west of modern-day Turkey.
Hyllarima existed, as an inscription found there shows, already in the 3rd century BC and belonged between 189 and 167 to the mainland possessions of the island of Rhodes. Extensive ruins of the city, including the agora, a theater, and a synagogue, are preserved. Several sanctuaries were located in the territory of Hyllarima. During the Roman Imperial period, the city minted coins.
The titular bishopric of Hyllarima of the Roman Catholic Church goes back to a late antique bishopric of the city.
