Vicaria (Italian: "vicarage," in the secular meaning of "residence of the vice-regent") is a neighbourhood of Naples, southern Italy. It is the area at the extreme east end of the historic center of the city and includes the church and street of San Giovanni a Carbonara as well as the eastern section of via dei Tribunali (the "street of the courthouses") once known as "via della Vicaria", since the Vicaria (the still prominent Palazzo Ricca at the east end of the street) housed the main tribunal under the Spanish vicerealm.
