Golfo Aranci (Sardinian: Figari) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Olbia-Tempio in the Italian region Sardinia, located about 200 km north of Cagliari and about 13 km northeast of Olbia.
The name of the comune derives probably from a wrong spelling of the Sardinian Golfu di li Ranci ("Gulf of the Crabs"). Once known as Figari, the current city was born in the mid 19th century as a settlement of fishermen. In the early 19th century a Royal Decree made it the main port for the arrivals from the mainland, contributing to its demographic expansion.
