San Fedele (or Sanfè in Ligurian) is a hamlet of about 1,000 inhabitants in the municipality of Albenga, in the Province of Savona, bordering the fraction of Lusignano. Located about 2 km from Albenga, it consists of a historic nucleus on a ridge on the hills behind and an area of houses along the provincial road that goes from Albenga to Villanova d'Albenga, up to the Centa.

In the hamlet there is a complex of public housing, a kindergarten that was previously an elementary school. There is a complex currently being restored, which was a college for elementary and middle schools in use until the 1980s. There is the villa called Casa Calvi where a fresco by Albenga is represented which, even if not representative of reality, made it possible to evaluate the physical geography of the city in the fifteenth century.
