Villa Badoer is a villa in Fratta Polesine in the Veneto region of northern Italy.

It was designed in 1556 by Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio for the Venetian noble Francesco Badoer, and built between 1557 and 1563 on the site of a medieval castle, which guarded a bridge across a navigable canal.

These originally housed agricultural activities, for this was a working villa, like Villa Emo and most of the villas by Palladio.
