The Verona funicular (), also known as the San Pietro Castle funicular (), is an incline lift in the Veronetta district of Verona, Italy. The lift previously operated as a funicular railway and is still officially named after the funicular.
Originally constructed as a funicular, the line opened in 1941 to provide access to the near the ancient Roman theatre. The funicular closed three years later as San Pietro's function as a tourist attraction failed to materialize at the time.
In the 2000s, the Verona municipal government explored options to reopen the long abandoned railway. Eventually, it was decided to re-purpose the funicular as an incline lift and the new service was completed in 2017. The current service includes two termini and an intermediate stop. The incline lift is long and gains an elevation of at a 36% slope. The line is served by a single 25-person capacity cabin.
