Buitoni (Italian pronunciation: [buiˈtoːni]) is an Italian food company based in Sansepolcro. It was founded in 1827. They are known for their factory-produced products of pasta and sauces.

In 1985, the Buitoni family sold the company to Carlo De Benedetti; in 1988, it was acquired by Nestlé. The brand appeared as the shirt sponsor of the football team Napoli from 1985 to 1988 and is associated with the era of the legendary player Diego Maradona. In 2017, Nestlé began a brand reorganization and licensed a variety of Buitoni frozen ready meals in Italy to Frosta AG of Bremerhaven, Germany.
