Censorinus was an usurper against Roman Emperor Claudius II, according to the Historia Augusta. He is included in the list of the Thirty Tyrants.

The revolt of Censorinus is qestionable. He should have revolted in 269-270. The source is the Historia Augusta, according to which Censorinus had been consul twice, even if there is no record of such offices; he proclaimed himself emperor, but soon he was killed by his own soldiers, because he enforced too strict discipline. His tomb should have been in Bologna.
