The Andrea Doria class was a class of battleships of the Regia Marina (Italian Navy). Two were built in the La Spezia and Castellammare shipyards between 1912 and 1915. These ships were improved versions of the Conte di Cavour battleships. Although both of these ships were completed during World War I, they did not see action. Both were extensively modernized prior to World War II.
