The Guardia di Finanza, (/’gwardja di fi’nantsa/) (English: Financial Guard) is an Italian police force under the authority of the Minister of Economy and Finance. It is a part of the Italian Armed Forces same as the Carabinieri, while other Italian law enforcement agencies are civilian.

“The Guardia di Finanza maintains over 600 boats and ships and more than 100 aircraft to fulfill its mission of patrolling Italy's territorial waters.

Its mission and institutional tasks are stated in the law 189 of April 23, 1959 and 68/2001 and are subdivided into priority ones (preventing, investigating and reporting financial evasions and violations, overseeing the compliance with the provisions of politico-economic interest and surveillance at sea for financial police purposes) and contribution ones (maintaining public order and safety and politico-military defense of the borders).

The Guardia di Finanza has around 68,000 policeman (agents, NCOs, and officers). Her policemen are in service in the Europol and OLAF (European Agency of Fight against the Fraud). Its Latin motto since 1933 is Nec recisa recedit (Italian: Neanche spezzata retrocede, English: Not Even Broken Retreats).
