Count Giannino Marzotto (born 13 April 1928 in Valdagno, died 14 July 2012 in Padua) was an Italian racing driver best known for winning the Mille Miglia in 1950 and 1953. Originally retiring from motorsport after the latter victory, he was persuaded to continue his career in Formula One following an appearance at the 1953 Italian Grand Prix. He signed with Officine Renzo in 1954, where he scored no points but regularly qualified for races. In 1955, he began driving for Maria Teresa de Filippis, but he failed to finish a single race and subsequently stopped racing.

He and his brother Paolo became the first pair of brothers to compete in Formula 1 when Paolo entered the 1954 Italian Grand Prix. In 1957, all four Marzotto brothers entered under the Scuderia Marzotto name. Giannino failed to qualify on a one-off comeback, and retired for good.
