Mettius Fufetius (died in 673 BC) was a dictator of Alba Longa, an ancient town in central Italy near Rome. He was appointed after the death of king Gaius Cluilius. When a full-blown war threatened to erupt between the Alba Longans and the Romans, Fufetius proposed to the third legendary King of Rome, Tullus Hostilius, a smaller 3 vs. 3 battle (Horatii and Curiatii). Having lost this, the Albans submitted themselves to Roman rule. Disappointed in the outcome, Fufetius later schemed with an Etruscan rival, but was defeated by Rome.
