Settimo Vittone is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont, northern Italy. It is located about 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Turin, in the Canavese traditional region.

The main sights are the pieve (pleban church) and the baptistery of St. Lawrenece, most likely dating to the late 9th century. It is one of the main examples of pre-Romanesque architecture in Piedmont. Instead in Romanesque are the bell tower and the rectangular apse. It is home to numerous frescoes, dating from the mid-11th to the late 15th centuries.

The Colma di Mombarone mountain is located nearby.
