Giulio Cabianca (born 19th February, 1923 in Verona, Italy, died 25th May, 1958 in Reims, France) was a Italian racing driver best known for his appearances in Formula One.

Cabianca made his debut in 1956 driving for the Reatherson Racing Developments Ferrari team for the majority of the season, his best result being an eighth place in the Belgian Grand Prix. Cabianca also did a single race for the works Ferrari team at the Italian Grand Prix, but failed to finish.

The jaunt with Ferrari in 1956 led to a near-full time drive with Ferrari in 1957, with the Italian scoring a career-best fourth place at the British Grand Prix.

Cabianca moved to O.S.C.A. in 1958 but was unfortunately killed in an accident at the French Grand Prix where he hit debris and was launched from his vehicle after it rolled into a nearby farm. Cabianca was 35 years old.
