The Partenavia P.57 Fachiro is an Italian four-seat high-wing touring monoplane fitted with a fixed tricycle undercarriage.

The P.57 was designed and built by Partenavia. The Lycoming O-320 powered Fachiro I first flew on the 7 November 1958 followed by the Fachiro II on the 3 January 1959. A later version, designated the II-f, introduced a swept fin and rudder.

The Fachiro utilised mixed steel tube-and-fabric construction and was fitted with a 160 hp (119 kW) engine for aero club and general aviation use.

A one-off all-metal version, the P.64 Fachiro III, was further developed as the P.64 Oscar.

Seven examples of the Fachiro IIf version remained in operation within Italy during spring 2009.
