Suburra is a 2015 Italian neo-noir crime film directed by Stefano Sollima, based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Carlo Bonini and Giancarlo De Cataldo. The movie was financed by Netflix and RAI.[2][3] It stars Pierfrancesco Favino, Elio Germano and Claudio Amendola, and focuses on the connections between organized crime and politics in Rome in 2011, inspired by true events from the Mafia Capitale.[4] Suburra was the name of a suburb of Ancient Rome.

In 2017, Netflix released an adaptation of the movie in the form of a television series, Suburra: Blood on Rome. A second television spinoff of the film, titled Suburræterna, was released on 14 November 2023.
