The Old Italic scripts are a family of ancient writing systems used in the Italian Peninsula between about 700 and 100 BC, for various languages spoken in that time and place. The most notable member is the Etruscan alphabet, which was the immediate ancestor of the Latin alphabet used by more than 100 languages today, including English.

Old Italic is a group of historical European bicameral alphabets, written left-to-right. Used in 700–100 BCE in today’s Italy for Etruscan, Oscan, Umbrian, Venetic and other languages. Based on Greek, evolved into the Runic and Latin scripts.

The Old Italic script unifies a number of related historical alphabets located on the Italian peninsula which were used for non-Indo-European languages (Etruscan and probably North Picene, which is likely not related to Etruscan), and various Indo-European languages belonging to the Italic branch (Faliscan and members of the Sabellian group, including Oscan, Umbrian, and South Picene).
