Forlì [forˈli] About this sound listen  (Romagnol dialect: Furlè; Latin: Forum Livii) is a comune and city in Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy, and is the capital of the province of Forlì-Cesena. It is the central city of Romagna.

The city is situated along the Via Emilia, to the right of the Montone river, and is an important agricultural centre. The city hosts many of Italy's culturally and artistically significant landmarks; it is also notable as the birthplace of painter Melozzo da Forlì, humanist historian Flavio Biondo, physicians Geronimo Mercuriali and Giovanni Battista Morgagni. The University Campus of Forlì (part of the University of Bologna) is specialized in Economics, Engineering, Political Sciences as well as the Advanced school of Modern Languages for Interpreters and Translators (SSLMIT).

The climate of the area is humid subtropical (Cfa in the Koeppen climate classification) with Mediterranean features, fairly mitigated by the relative closeness of the city to the sea.
