The Monumento al Marinaio d’Italia is a naval memorial in Brindisi, Italy. It was built between 1932 and 1933 to commemorate the Italian sailors who died in the First World War. The central part of the memorial is a tower that bears a certain resemblance to the German naval memorial in Laboe.

The tower, made of reinforced concrete, was faced with Carparo stone from Apulia. At the top there is a small viewing platform, just below on the sea side in a wall niche there is a ten-ton statue of the Madonna, and in the base of the tower there is a 27-meter-long crypt. In the crypt, which is modeled on a capsized ship's hull, the names of almost 6,000 sailors who died in the First World War were engraved. In 1965, memorial plaques were added for around 34,000 sailors who died in the Second World War. In the chancel there is a bronze statue of the Stella Maris.
