The Sarda Primitiva, Italian: Sarda primitiva, is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, off the west coast of Italy.^[3] It is quite distinct from the better-known Sarda breed of goat.^[4] It is raised in the mountainous areas of the historic sub-regions of Ogliastra, of Sarrabus-Gerrei and of Sulcis-Iglesiente.^[2] It is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders.^[5]

At the end of 2013 the registered population was 5399.^[6]
