Gianni Morbidelli (born January 13, 1968 in Pesaro) is a former Formula One driver from Italy. He participated in 70 Grands Prix, debuting on March 11, 1990. He achieved one podium, and scored a total of 8.5 championship points.

He was Italian Formula 3 and Formula 3 European Cup champion in 1989. After doing the first 2 races of the 1990 F1 season for Dallara, he concentrated on Formula 3000. Once this season had finished, he did the final two races of the F1 season with Minardi, where he remained until the end of 1992, with the exception of Australia 1991, in which he replaced Alain Prost at Ferrari, scoring a half-point for 6th in a heavily-shortened wet race. He joined Footwork for 1994 after a year away, racing for them for most of the next 2 seasons, finishing 3rd in Australia 1995, a race of high attrition. A few mid-season races for Sauber in 1997 were not successful and disrupted by injuries, and ended his Formula One career. In 1998 he drove for Volvo in the BTCC, but was not competitive as team-mate Rickard Rydell won the title. More recently he has competed in the ETCC and WTCC for Alfa Romeo
