Cantiere Navale Triestino (or Trieste Naval Shipyard) was an Italian shipbuilder founded in 1908 at Monfalcone, was in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

History

Immediately before the war, the yard build the scout cruiser Saida for Austria-Hungaria.

The site's front-line location when war between Italy and Austria-Hungary broke out in 1915 made continued operation difficult. Though the Italians occupied it in 1915, the yard later built submarines for the Austro-Hungarians during the war.

After the war, the company diversified into aircraft, and in 1929 merged with Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino to form Cantieri Riuniti dell' Adriatico. This firm would specialise in submarines, building half of the Italian Navy's undersea forces used in World War II.
