Cantiere navale fratelli Orlando (Orlando Brothers Shipyard) is an Italian shipyard. Founded in 1866 in Livorno, it was amalgamated into Società per la Costruzione di Navi, Macchine ed Artiglierie Odero-Terni-Orlando (later OTO Melara) in 1929. It was purchased after World War II by Gio. Ansaldo & C. In 1963 Ansaldo decided to dispose of the shipyard and it was acquired by Cantiere Luigi Orlando SpA. In turn, the struggling shipyard was merged into Fincantieri on 1 January 1984. Fincantieri decided to close the shipyard, but it was bought by Azimut-Benetti, builders of luxury yachts, in 2003.
