Franco-Italian, also known as Franco-Venetian or Franco-Lombard, in Italy as lingua franco-veneta "Franco-Venetan language", was a literary language used in parts of northern Italy, from the mid-13th century to into the 15th century. It was employed by writers including Brunetto Latini and Rustichello da Pisa and was presumably only a written language, and not a spoken one.

Absent a standard form for literary works of the Gallo-Italic languages at the time, writers in genres including the romance employed a hybrid language strongly influenced by the French language (at this period, the group called langues d'oïl). They sometimes described this type of literary Franco-Italian simply as French.
