Via Paolo Fabbri 43 is an album by Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini. It was released in 1976 by EMI Italiana, and was Guccini's best-selling title. The album takes its title from the complete address where Guccini lived at the time.

It contains one of Guccini's most famous songs, "L'avvelenata" ("The poisonous"), a long ballad in which he ridicules his critics (including Riccardo Bertoncelli, with whom Guccini later reconciled), as well as several aspects of Italian culture in the 1970s; some of these elements are also present in the title track, but with a more ironic tone. "Piccola storia ignobile" is a song about an abortion case.
