Funtana (Italian: Fontane) is a village and municipality (2006) in Istria, Croatia, located north of Vrsar.

In the past, Funtana was famous for freshwater springs. More intensive development of tourism started in the 1960s, when in the attractive coastal area from Zelena laguna (Green Lagoon) to Valkanela several campsites and a hotel village were built, as well as numerous rooms and suites in family houses.

Today Funtana stretches on both sides of the road Poreč - Vrsar. The chief occupation is renting of rooms. One of the specific features of the town is a great number of catering establishments - restaurants, inns, wine cellars, etc. Apart from the rich gastronomic offer, Funtana offers sports and recreational facilities - for water sports (yachting, diving, water skiing), tennis, football, miniature golf, boccia, bowling, horseback riding, etc.
