Acquedolci (known in Sicilian as Acquaduci) is an Italian town in Sicily, part of the Province of Messina.
Its name, that can be translated in English as "fresh waters", probably came from the fresh water springs which are part of the town territory. The inhabitated centre was founded in 1922, following a landslide which damaged the town of San Fratello, forcing a large part of the population to relocate there. Acquedolci, which was a frazione of San Fratello, obtained commune status in 1969.
