The Italian Bluebell or Italian Squil ("Hyacinthoides italica", syn. "Endymion italicus" or "Scilla italica"), is a spring-flowering bulbous perennial native to the central Mediterranean region in northwestern Italy, southern France and northeastern Spain. It is one of three species in the genus "Hyacinthoides", the others being the Common Bluebell ("Hyacinthoides non-scripta") in northwestern Europe, and the Spanish Bluebell ("Hyacinthoides hispanica") further west in the Iberian Peninsula.

It is in some respects intermediate between the Common and Spanish species in having slender leaves (as in "H. non-scripta" or even slenderer, 3-12 mm broad), but a dense, conical flowering raceme 10-40 cm tall (as in "H. hispanica"; not sparse and one-sided as in "H. non-scripta").
