Pozzuolo del Friuli (Friulian: Puçui) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Udine in the Italian region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) northwest of Trieste and about 10 kilometres (6 mi) southwest of Udine.

It borders to the North-East with the Comune of Basiliano, to the North with the Comune of Udine and Campoformido, and to the East with the comune of Pavia di Udine, and to the South with the comune of Mortegliano, and to the West with the comune of Lestizza. It is crossed by the Cormor torrent, and is located in the central part of the Friulian Plain. Under its administration are also the villages of Cargnacco, Carpeneto, Sammardenchia, Terenzano and Zugliano.

During the Barbarian invasions of Italy, Pozzuolo, just like other Friulian villages, started concentrating around its Church in order to better defend itself. It was only till 921 A.D. that the name of Pozzuolo appeared on an official document, in particular due to the donation that the Berengario Emperor made to the town. During this period the town is administered mainly by the reunion of the local family heads. In 1441 the battle between the people of Udine and Cividale took place near Pozzuolo. From 1420, Udine together with the town of Pozzuolo was assimilated under the control of the Republic of Venice. During the Turkish invasions of Europe, Pozzuolo was first destroyed by Turkish raiders during 1477, while destroyed a second time in 1499 by the last Turkish assault.
