Stupinigi (Italian: [stupiˈniːdʒi]; Piedmontese: Stupinis [stypiˈniz]) is a frazione (hamlet/borough) of the comune (municipality) of Nichelino, in the Metropolitan City of Turin (Piedmont, north-west Italy). It has a population of about 200. It borders the comuni of Candiolo and Orbassano on the southwestern outskirts of Turin, about 10 km from the centre of the city. Before 1869, it formed part of the comune of Vinovo.

Stupinigi is known for the eighteenth-century palazzina di caccia, one of the historical Residences of the Royal House of Savoy, for the medieval castle (Castelvecchio), and for the associated park and nature reserve (Parco naturale di Stupinigi).
