Rosignano Solvay is a frazione (detached borough) of Rosignano Marittimo, Tuscany, Italy, located some 25 km from Livorno.

It houses the White Beaches (Italian: Spiagge bianche), whose sand is formed by limestone (calcium carbonate) (90%) and calcium sulfate (10%) due the soda ash production of the nearby Solvay since 1914.[1]

Sights include the Teatro Solvay, two Etruscan museums and the Villaggio Solvay residential complex.
