Giarre (Sicilian: Giarri) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily.

Giarre is bounded by the municipalities of Acireale, Mascali, Milo, Riposto, Sant'Alfio, Santa Venerina and Zafferana Etnea.

Some historians suppose that the ancient Greek city of Kallipolis was situated in the same territory as the present-day town of Giarre, but nowadays there is no relevant proof of it.

Giarre has attracted attention for its numerous unfinished buildings and amenities, initiated with public money in the 1990s but never used.

A small number have been converted to other uses, including a multi-storey car park; residents also see the prospect of some tourism, as the town has come to be regarded as the centre of this style of urban planning.
