Vermicino is a village and civil parish (frazione) of the Italian municipality of Frascati, in the Province of Rome, Lazio. In Italian language its name means "little worm", in an unused form.

Located near Ciampino (4 km away) and Morena (2 km away), close to the south-eastern suburb of Rome; Vermicino, as frazione of Frascati, is part of the Castelli Romani. A minor part of its territory, a strip in the central area, belongs to the municipality of Rome as part of the Zone XVII "Torre Gaia". In the north of the village there is a locality, mainly composed by some scattered houses, named Selvotta, considered part of Vermicino.

The main road crossing Vermicino is the historical one of Tuscolana, linking Rome (20 km away) and Frascati (2.5 km away). Other main roads are Via di Vermicino (in which is located Selvotta) and Via di Passolombardo, that links the village to the motorway's exit of "Roma Torrenova", on the "South Rome Branch" of the A1.

The village is also 4.5 km away from Rome Ciampino Airport, 5 from Grottaferrata and circa 3 from the Roman suburban villages of Borghesiana and Finocchio. The nearest railway stations are Tor Vergata (near Frascati), Ciampino, and Frascati.

In the middle of the original village there is a fountain, built in 1731 by the order of the Pope Clement XII and designed by Luigi Vanvitelli. From the 1970s Vermicino grew as part of the urban expansion in southern Roman surroundings.
