Carlo, Maria Rocco Francesco Saverio Brioschi (15 August 1782 in Milan – 29 January 1833 in Naples) was an Italian astronomer and geodesist, professor of astronomy at the University of Naples and director of the Astronomical Observatory of Capodimonte.

On the evening of 17 December 1819, he made the first astronomical observation from the new Capodimonte Observatory by measuring the zenith distance of α Cassiopeiae with the Reichenbach multiplier (or repeater) circle housed in the east dome.
