The Fonte della Fata Morgana, locally also called '"Casina delle Fate", at Grassina, is a small garden building located not far from Florence, Italy, in the comune of Bagno a Ripoli. It was built in 1573–1574 as a garden feature in the extensive grounds of the Villa il Riposo of Bernardo Vecchietti on the slope of the hill called Fattucchia.

The Fonte della Fata Morgana at one time was enriched by sculptures, including a bust of Morgana by Flemish artist Giambologna in the nymphaeum, which is now in a private collection. The site has been under restoration and redevelopment since 2016.
