The Contestani were an ancient Iberian (Pre-Roman) people of the Iberian peninsula (the Roman Hispania). They are believed to have spoken the Iberian language. They lived in a region located SW of the Tarraconensis, east of the territory of the Bastetani, between the city of ''Urci'', located NE of the Baetica and river ''Sucro'', today known as Xúquer. Nowadays this would correspond to a section of the Albacete Province, The eastern part of the Region of Murcia and the southern part of the Land of Valencia.〔Lorenzo Abad Casal, ''La Contestania Ibérica, treinta años después,'' Universidad de Alicante.

Other important towns were ''Setabi'' (Xàtiva), Lucenti or Lucentum (L'Albufereta in Alacant), ''Alonis'' (La Vila Joiosa), ''Ilici'' (Elx), ''Menlaria'', ''Valentia'' and ''Iaspis''. Iberian coins were minted at ''Setabi''.〔José Uroz Sáez, ''Economía y sociedad de Contestania ibérica,'' Instituto de estudios alicantinos,1998.
