Perini Navi is an Italian shipyard based in Viareggio, Italy, province of Tuscany. Ship maintenance now occurs at the Ligurian port of La Spezia. Founded by Fabio Perini in the 1980s, it builds large (20m-60m), luxury sailing yachts, mainly of Bermuda-rigged ketch design.

The company is merged with the historic Picchiotti shipyard. The ship hulls are made in Turkey and the rest of the building occurs in Italy. Customers have included Rupert Murdoch, Silvio Berlusconi, Tom Perkins, and many other extremely wealthy individuals.
