Cogoleto ({{langx|lij|Cogoeuo}}) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Genoa in the Italian region Liguria, located about {{convert|25|km|mi}} west of Genova. Its territory extends from the sea to the Ligurian Apennines; it is part of the Natural Regional Park of Monte Beigua.

Multiple 16th-century sources describe Cogoleto as the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, although his precise origins remain a matter of dispute.{{in lang|es}} Garibay y Zamalloa, Esteban de.
