Open Fiber S.p.A. formerly known as Enel OpEn Fiber S.p.A. is an Italian telecommunications company.

Open Fiber was established in December 2015, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Italian energy company Enel, in order to build an independent fibre-based access network.

In July 2016 the company acquired Metroweb Italia from F2i First Fund and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, a private equity fund and a sovereign wealth fund respectively. However, CDP also acquired 50% stake in Open Fiber.[1]

In 2018, Open Fiber signed an agreement with Sky Italia, which the latter would use Open Fiber's fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network to deliver its content.[2]
