Italian submarine Alagi was an Italian 600-Serie Adua class submarine, serving in the Regia Marina during World War II. It was named after the Amba Alagi mountain in Ethiopia.
It was built in CRDA shipyard, in Monfalcone. It was laid down on 19 March 1936, launched 15 November of the same year, and commissioned on 6 March 1937.
Alagi operated to intercept and block an August 1942 Allied convoy to Malta (Operation Pedestal). It succeeded in damaging the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Kenya and sinking a merchant ship, on 12 August.
Alagi, a member of the 7th Group - 71st Squadron of the submarine fleet, was still operating on 8 September 1943, when the Allies and Italy signed the armistice. Alagi arrived in Malta with the Regia Marina fleet. It was sold for scrap on 1 February 1948.
