Givoletto is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 20 km northwest of Turin.

It is located at the feet of the Graian Alps's first reliefs from Turin's plain, with elevations such as the Monte Lera (1,368 m). Givoletto is home to the Madonna della Neve Natural Preserve, established to preserve the Euphorbia gibelliana, a plant which grows only in this area.
