Vittorio Veneto was a member of the Littorio-class battleship that served in the Italian Regia Marina during World War II. The ship was launched in July 1937, and readied for service in August 1940. She had three sister ships: Littorio, Roma, and Impero. She was armed with a main battery of nine 15.0 in guns in three triple turrets, and could steam at a speed of 30 knots.

Vittorio Veneto saw extensive service during the war. The ship escaped undamaged during the British raid on Taranto in November 1940. Early in the war, she participated in the Battle of Cape Spartivento in November 1940 and the Battle of Cape Matapan in March 1941 where she was damaged by a torpedo bomber, and then she was torpedoed by the British submarine HMS Urge in December 1941. She spent 1941 and early 1942 attempting to attack British convoys to Malta, but crippling fuel shortages in the Italian fleet curtailed activity thereafter.

Vittorio Veneto was among the Italian ships that were surrendered to the Allies in September 1943 after Italy withdrew from the war, and Vittorio Veneto with the rest of the Italian fleet was taken into internment, spending the following three years under British control in Egypt. After the war, she was allocated as a war prize to Britain and subsequently broken up for scrap.
