Speziale is an Italian village and hamlet (frazione) of the municipality of Fasano in the Province of Brindisi, Apulia. As of 2011 its population was 423.

The village takes its name from an apothecary (it: speziale) who once lived there.

Located in upper Salento, Speziale lies a few kilometres from the sea and the hills of the Itria Valley. The surrounding area is notable for large plantations of secular (i.e. long-lived) olive trees.

The village has farmhouses and typical Apulian white-painted buildings. Its church, dedicated to Santa Maria del Rosario, was built in the early twentieth century.

Every year, on the first Sunday of August, the town holds a festival, the Sagra della focaccia.
