Fasano (Italian pronunciation: [faˈzaːno]; Barese: Fasciànë) is a town and comune in the Province of Brindisi, Apulia, southern Italy.

According to a folk etymology, the name Fasano derives from the "Faso", a large wild columbus dove (also represented on the civic coat of arms) which drank from the fogge, which was a type of swamp or pool in the open air formed from the water that flowed down from the surrounding hills.

Via Appia, the road from Brindisi to Rome during ancient times, runs along Fasano's costal frazioni, including Savelletri and is visible today.

Fasano is situated in an area with olive trees and its territory extends from hills to the sea with rich Mediterranean vegetation.

Around Fasano are Pezze di Greco, Montalbano, Speziale and Pozzo Faceto, centres of secular olive cultivation; and a range of medieval fortified masserie, or farmhouses, aimed at agricultural tourism.
