Ladispoli is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Rome, in the Italian region of Lazio.

Modern Ladispoli includes the site of the ancient Alsium at nearby Palo Laziale, the port of the Etruscan city of Cerveteri and later a Roman colony cited by Cicero.

In the late 1970s and until the early 1990s, parts of Ladispoli were popular with thousands of Soviet emigrants, mostly Jewish, seeking political and/or religious asylum in Western countries (mostly United States, Canada and Australia).

The impact was most profound during off-season, when many apartments would otherwise sit idle and city life would enter a hiatus.

The experience of Jews from the former USSR staying in Ladispoli in the 1980s was described in English by Maxim D. Shrayer in his literary memoir "Waiting for America" (2007).
