The Signoria di Carrara (Italian: Lordship of Carrara) was an Italian feudal state centered in Carrara, in what is now northern Tuscany. It also included the towns of Avenza and Marina di Carrara and the basin of the Carrione river.

When emperor Henry VII suppressed the bishopric of Luni, once the main fief in the area, he assigned the territory of the former free commune of Carrara to his ally the Republic of Pisa. The lordship of Carrara was subsequently held by different families and cities, such as Lucca and the Visconti of Milan, and was finally sold to the marquis of Massa in 1473.
