Preci is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Perugia in the Italian region Umbria, located about 60 km southeast of Perugia. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").{{cite web|url=https://borghipiubelliditalia.it/umbria/|title=Umbria|access-date=1 August 2023|language=it}}

It is a medieval burg (13th century) developed inside a fortress, which was almost entirely destroyed by an earthquake in 1328.

Preci borders the following municipalities: Castelsantangelo sul Nera, Cerreto di Spoleto, Norcia, Visso.

In recent decades Preci suffered extensive damage from earthquakes. In 1997 it was hit by the Umbria and Marche earthquakes.{{Cite web |last=Rome |first=Wanted in |date=2020-01-17 |title=Preci: Italy's mediaeval village of surgeons |url=https://www.wantedinrome.com/news/preci-italys-mediaeval-village-of-surgeons.html |access-date=2025-06-28 |website=Wanted in Rome |language=en}} The old center of Preci was later ravaged by the October 2016 Central Italy Earthquakes.{{Cite news |last=Haworth |first=Jessica |date=2016-11-25 |title=Aftermath of Italy earthquake shows workers try to restore 700-year-old church |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/italian-earthquake-workers-desperately-try-9336274 |access-date=2018-07-21 |work=mirror}}
