Siderno (Calabrian: Sidernu or Siderni; Greek: Σιδέρνο, romanized: Sidérno[citation needed]) is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, Calabria, southern Italy, about 3 kilometres from Locri.
Siderno Marina is the newer town located on the Ionian coast. It is a destination for both Italian and foreign tourists and has a bathing beach.
