Tocco da Casauria is a comune and town in the Province of Pescara in the Abruzzo region of Central Italy.
The centre was known for centuries as simply Tocco, and the name "da Casauria" was added only after 1861. It rises on a hill between the Pescara river and the Arolle, a small stream, against the background of the Maiella. The town is known for the production of Centerba, a highly alcoholic mixture of Maiella herbs which is said to have healthy effects on metabolism.
