The Derby della Lanterna, Italian for the "Derby of the Lantern", is Genoa's local derby, played by U.C. Sampdoria, and Genoa C.F.C. It takes place at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, which both clubs share.

The derby's name is derived from the Torre della Lanterna, the ancient landmark and the main lighthouse for the city's port.

The rivalry is fueled by the fact that Genoa has a long history, (being Italy's oldest football club) while Sampdoria is the country's newest continuously operating club.
