The Italian Tennis and Padel Federation (Italian: Federazione Italiana Tennis e Padel, FITP since 2023; formerly Italian: Federazione Italiana Tennis, FIT) is the national governing body for the tennis sport in Italy.

The FITP, originally Federazione Italiana Lawn Tennis (FILT), was born in Florence in 1910 with just 26 affiliated clubs.

In 2022, the FIT decided to extend its activities to padel, beach tennis, and pickleball, as of January 2023.
