Porcari is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Lucca in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 50 km west of Florence and about 8 km east of Lucca.
In the Middle Ages it was a stage on the Via Francigena. It houses the church of St. Justus, dating to the 16th century but later mostly remade in neo-medieval style.
