Rifugio Sanremo is a refuge in the Ligurian Alps in Italy. Located at 2,054 m, is the highest mountain hut in Liguria.

Rifugio Sanremo was built in 1950 and enlarged in 1984 with an upper floor containing a 30-bed dorm. It was dedicated in 2012 to Agostino Gauzzi (nicknamed "Tino"), an Italian alpinist who was among the founders of the Sanremo branch of Club Alpino Italiano.[2]

The hut can be reached from La Brigue, France, and from Briga Alta and Montegrosso Pian Latte, Italy. It is located on the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri.[3]
