Vicaria (Italian: "vicarage," in the secular meaning of "residence of the vice-regent") is a neighbourhood of Naples, southern Italy. It takes its name from the eastern section of via dei Tribunali (the "street of the courthouses"), in the neighbourhood of San Lorenzo, once known as "via della Vicaria", since the Vicaria (the still prominent Palazzo Ricca at the east end of the street) housed the main tribunal under the Spanish vicerealm.
