Faeto (Arpitan: Fayéte, IPA: [faˈjet]) is a town and comune in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy.

It is a mountain village lying astride the Apennines and renowned for its prosciutto, an Italian dry-cured ham known as prosciutto di Faeto. Residents of Faeto and neighbouring Celle di San Vito are speakers of Faetar, a daughter language of the Franco-Provençal language, which is found in an Alpine region spanning northwestern Italy, southeastern France and southwestern Switzerland.
