Credito Italiano, often referred to by the shorthand Credit, was a significant Italian bank, founded in 1870 as Banca di Genova and adopting its later name in 1895. In 1998 it merged with Unicredito to form Unicredito Italiano, later known as UniCredit.

Circa 1999 to 2002 UniCredit created a new subsidiary of the same name to run the retail network of Credito Italiano. On 1 July 2002 the subsidiary received the assets of sister banks to become UniCredit Banca.
