Filippo Caruso (Casole Bruzio, 24 August 1884 – Rome, 12 September 1979) was an Italian Carabinieri general and Resistance member during World War II.

He participated in the First World War, fighting in the 11th Division on the middle course of the Isonzo and then serving with the 114th Carabinieri Section at the Supreme Command.

In August 1941 he was transferred to Rome and appointed chief of staff and general inspector of the consortium for the rationing and distribution of meat to the armed forces and to the civilian population at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

In January 1942 he was promoted to brigadier general, serving in Rome at the 2nd Carabinieri Division "Podgora", and in March 1943 he was discharged on demand due to reaching age limits.

On May 25, 1944, he was arrested by the German police and imprisoned in the SS prison in via Tasso, where he was subjected to prolonged torture in the unsuccessful attempt to force him to reveal the names of other Resistance members.
