The Compasso d'Oro (Italian pronunciation: [komˈpasso ˈdɔːro]; 'Golden Compass') is an industrial design award originated in Italy in 1954.

Initially sponsored by the La Rinascente, a Milanese department store, the award has been organised and managed by the Associazione per il Disegno Industriale (ADI) since 1964.

Many other leading architects and designers of the era including the Castiglioni brothers (Livio, Pier Giacomo, and Achille), Albe Steiner [it], Enzo Mari and Marco Zanuso were involved in aspects of its inception and early development.

[1][9] The Compasso d'Oro logo (designed by Steiner) and award trophy itself invoke a drafting compass invented by Adalbert Göringer in 1893 to measure the Golden Section.

[13][14] In 2020, the Milan square where the ADI Design Museum is situated was renamed "Piazza Compasso d'Oro" to honour the cultural and historical significance of the award.
