The Goito Mechanized Brigade was a mechanized brigade of the Italian Army. Its core units were mechanized Bersaglieri battalions. The brigade's headquarters was in the city of Milan. The brigade's name was chosen in memory of the First Italian War of Independence Battle of Goito.
On 21 October 1975 the Goito Mechanized Brigade along with the Curtatone Armored Brigade were activated from disbanded regiments of the Centauro Armored Division. The Goito took command of the 3rd Bersaglieri Regiment
After the end of the Cold War the Italian Army began to draw down its forces and the Goito was one of the first brigades to be disbanded. On 1 June 1991 the brigade was officially deactivated along with most of its subordinate units.
