Fornaci di Barga, or simply Fornaci, is a frazione of Barga in the Province of Lucca, Tuscany, Italy. It is located 165 m above sea level, on the left bank of the river Serchio.

The town owes its name to lime and brick kilns (fornaci in Italian) that could once be found in the area but that have now gradually disappeared.[1]
