'''Figari''' ({{IPA|fr|fiɡaʁi}}; also {{langx|co|Fìgari}}) is a commune in the French department of Corse-du-Sud on the island of Corsica, France.

==Geography== The village of Figari is {{convert|43|km|sp=us}} to the southeast of Sartène, {{convert|20|km|abbr=on}} to the southwest of Porto-Vecchio and {{convert|19|km|abbr=on}} to the north of Bonifacio. The commune comes from an ancient parish. It includes the center of a large plain where the airport was built in 1975. To the north looms Mount Cagna, which exceeds {{convert|1100|m|sp=us}}.

To the southeast hills climb to {{convert|320|m|abbr=on}} over the village and enclose the Figari Reservoir, created by damming the Ruisseau de Ventilegne for purposes of water supply and irrigation; additional water can be taken from the Orgone, a small brook which descends from the mountain of Cagna et forms the upper stream of the Stabbiacciu in Porto-Vecchio. To the southwest the commune occupies the east bank of the Bay of Figari, and Ventilegne Point, but not the resort.<ref>{{cite web|title=France, le trésor des régions: Département: Corse-du-Sud|url=http://tresordesregions.mgm.fr/Mdir.php?p=cant.php&region=94&cl=|access-date=2008-05-06|language=fr}}.</ref>
