Physca or Physka (Ancient Greek: Φύσκα), Physcae or Physkai (Φύσκαι), Physcas or Physkas (Φύσκας),[1] or Physcus or Physkos (Φύσκος),[2] was a town of ancient Macedonia. It was placed by Ptolemy in the district of Mygdonia, and by others in that of Eordaea.[1][3] Thucydides remarks that near it there still remained some of the descendants of the Eordaei, who had been expelled from all other parts of their original settlements by the Teminidae.[4]

The site of Physca is unlocated.[5]
