The Benetti Fisker 50 is a 50-meter (164-foot) superyacht concept designed by Henrik Fisker in California, to be built by Italian boat building company Benetti in Livorno. Fisker and Benetti announced a partnership in 2015 to design and build a series of superyachts and revealed the design at the 2016 Singapore Yacht Show.

In 2015, in the South of France at a social gathering, Fisker met James Clayton, the sales manager at Benetti. Fisker mentioned some of his ideas for a yacht, and Clayton suggested they collaborate, given Fisker's background designing luxury cars. The Benetti Fisker 50 is the first boat designed by Fisker, although he occasionally sketched boats in his youth and as a student at the Art Center College of Design in Switzerland. He is best known as the founder of Fisker Coachbuild, Fisker Automotive and VLF Automotive, and for creating such luxury cars as the BMW Z8, Aston Martin DB9, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Fisker Karma, Galpin-Fisker Mustang Rocket and the VLF Force 1.

Founded in 1873, Benetti is the oldest shipyard in Italy, known for the production and sale of motoryachts and custom luxury superyachts. They built the Nabila for Saudi Arabian billionaire businessman Adnan Khashoggi in 1980, which at 86 meters and 2,465 tons was at the time the largest yacht in the world. It was featured in the 1983 James Bond film Never Say Never Again. Other notable superyachts they have built were the 60-meter Xanadu (later renamed St. David) in 2008, and the 90-meter Lionheart, Benetti's largest yacht, delivered to British businessman Philip Green in 2016.
