Chiaramonte Gulfi (Sicilian: Ciaramunti) is a town and comune in the province of Ragusa, Sicily, southern Italy.

The town is called the Balcony of Sicily for its panoramic position, with views over the valley of the Ippari and its towns (Comiso, Vittoria, Acate) all the way to the Mediterranean Sea to the south, as far as Mount Etna to the north, and the Erean Mountains with Caltagirone to the west.
