Centro Sociale Leoncavallo was a self-managed social centre in Milan, Italy, which had existed since a former factory on via Leoncavallo was squatted in 1975. It was evicted and partially demolished in 1989, then quickly reoccupied and rebuilt. It was evicted again in 1994 and briefly moved to a warehouse for six months before occupying its still extant location on via Antoine Watteau. Activities included concerts, theatre, debates, exhibitions and a radio station. The social centre described itself as Leoncavallo Self-Managed Public Space (Italian: Leoncavallo Spazio Pubblico Autogestito). It was finally evicted on 21 August 2025.
