Cavazzoli or Villa Cavazzoli (I Cavasō in Reggiano dialect; De Cavazzolis in Latin) is a frazione of the municipality of Reggio Emilia with 1,378 inhabitants, now a small northwestern extension of the urban area of Reggio.

The fraction is the birthplace of Cesare Campioli, the first mayor of Reggio Emilia after the Liberation, the silver medal of the Resistance Paolo Davoli, and the tenor Ferruccio Tagliavini.

Locally, according to tradition, the remains of Saint Julius the Martyr rest, contained in a transparent reliquary in the namesake oratory located in the Valle di San Giulio.
