Stintino (Sassarese: Isthintini, Sardinian: Istintìnu) is a coastal comune (municipality) in the Province of Sassari in the Italian region Sardinia, located about 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Cagliari and about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest of Sassari.
Stintino is located on the peninsula of the same name, running from Nurra plain to the Asinara Island, part of the Asinara National Park, for which Stintino is the nearer embarkment place. The municipality borders with Sassari and its northernmost point, a cape in which is located the town, is in front of the Asinara, who belongs to the municipality of Porto Torres.
Stintino was a frazione of the comune of Sassari until 1988.
It is a popular seaside resort and is provided with three tourist ports: Porto Mannu (with 300 boat places), Marina di Stintino (160 boat places) and Porto Minore (110 boat places).
