Varazze is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Savona in the Italian region of Liguria, located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Genoa and about 11 kilometres (7 mi) northeast of Savona in the Riviera di Ponente. Nearby in the Ligurian Apennines is the Monte Beigua with its Natural Regional Park.

Economy is predominantly based on the shipyards, yachting and tourism.

Main sights include:

• Romanesque church of San Nazario e Celso (rebuilt in the 16th century). The façade is from 1870.
• Church of San Domenico (1419). It includes Sienese school frescoes and a 16th-century polyptych. Notable is the cloister.
• Church of Sant'Ambrogio. It has a Romanesque façade and a campanile in Gothic-Romanesque style with three orders of mullioned windows. In the interior are a polyptych by Giovanni Barbagelata and a panel by Luca Cambiaso with the Madonna and Sts. John the Baptist and Francis.
• Church of Santa Maria in Latronorio, in the frazione Invrea. A pointed portal remains of the original 12th-century edifice. The interior is home to a large 13th-century fresco.
• Eremo del Deserto ("Hermitage of the Desert"), in the woodland towards the Ligurian Apennine. It is in Baroque style, being built in the 18th century, with a large wall measuring 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) and including a wood and isolated cells of the monks.
• Church of San Donato, from the 5th or 9th century, but mostly rebuilt in the 19th century.

The so-called Passeggiata Europa ("Europa Stroll") is a naturalistic path running on the former Genoa-Ventimiglia railway (closed in 1970), connecting Varazze to Cogoleto. It passes through rocky Maquis shrubland landscape including Aleppo Pine vegetation, and overlooks a series of small sea harbours housing rich wildlife.
