Caffè Pascucci is an Italian coffeehouse chain, with branches in over 25 countries.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}
The company, Pascucci Torrefazione S.p.A. , is headquartered in Monte Cerignone, Province of Pesaro and Urbino.
Founded in 1883 by Antonio Pascucci, the company began trading coffee and other colonial products. Over the years, it grew into an industrial-scale roastery, installing its first roasting plant and adopting indirect fire roasting in 1963. In the late 1990s, under Mario Pascucci's leadership, the company expanded internationally and opened the first *Caffè Pascucci Shop* in Rimini in 2000. The company's Espresso School was established in 1996 to promote quality in espresso making.
