Varazze (pronounced [vaˈraddze; vaˈrattse]; Ligurian: Väze) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Savona in the Italian region of Liguria, located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Genoa and about 11 kilometres (7 mi) northeast of Savona in the Riviera di Ponente.

The burgh grew around the former Roman station named Ad Navalia, mentioned in the Tabula Peutingeriana.

In 1227, it became an independent commune, but by the Treaty of Varazze of 1251 it was annexed along with Savona by the Republic of Genoa, who conceded the fief to the Malocelli in 1290, and to the Doria in 1317.

In 1861, it became part of the newly unified Kingdom of Italy and seat of the Giurisdizione di Colombo (Jurisdiction of Columbus).

It passes through rocky Maquis shrubland landscape including Aleppo Pine vegetation, and overlooks a series of small sea harbours housing rich wildlife.
