Fabbrica Ligure Automobili Genoa, commonly known as F.L.A.G., was an Italian automobile manufacturer that operated from 1905 to 1908. The company was based in Genoa, Italy, and specialized in the production of touring cars.

F.L.A.G. offered a range of vehicles that included models with 12/16 horsepower and 16/24 horsepower, both featuring shaft drive systems. Additionally, the company produced a more powerful 40 horsepower model that utilized chain drive. All vehicles were equipped with four-cylinder engines that featured pair-cast cylinders, reflecting the engineering standards of the time.

The company also served as the Italian agent for Thornycroft cars, which led to speculation regarding the origins of their designs. Some suggested that F.L.A.G. vehicles were based on Thornycroft models or were even license-built versions. However, the manufacturers firmly denied these claims, asserting the originality of their designs. Despite its brief existence, F.L.A.G. contributed to the early automotive landscape in Italy.
