Quartucciu (Sardinian: Cuartùcciu) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Cagliari in the Italian region Sardinia, located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) northeast of Cagliari.
Human presences in the territory of Quartucciu is attested since prehistoric times. Some decades before the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Quartucciu, like the rest of the island, was conquered by the Vandals. In the Middle Ages it belonged to the giudicato of Cagliari, then to Pisa and, soon afterwards, to the Aragonese.
Until 1983, when it separated through a local referendum, Quartucciu was a district of Cagliari. The other three municipalities which separated from Cagliari in this decade were Elmas (1989) and Monserrato (1991).
