Kaiseraugst is a municipality in the district of Rheinfelden in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. Located on the High Rhine, it is part of the Basel metropolitan region and borders Germany and the canton of Basel-Landschaft. It is named after the Ancient Roman city of Augusta Raurica whose ruins are nearby. The prefix Kaiser- ("imperial") refers to the fact that from medieval times the town formed part of the Habsburg territory of Further Austria, as opposed to the neighbouring village of Augst, which was part of the Canton of Basel in the Old Swiss Confederacy.
