Amaretti di Saronno (Italian: [amaˈretti di saˈrɔnno]) are a type of amaretto, a bitter-sweet flavored macaroon, traditional to the Italian city of Saronno. It is one of many types of traditional amaretti, but the only one made with apricot kernels (the others are usually made with almonds).

The amaretti di Saronno are widely available commercially, most notably through the brand Lazzaroni. Amaretti di Saronno are unrelated to Amaretto liqueur, which is chiefly produced by two other companies based in Saronno: ILLVA [it] and PLF.
