Francesco Parisi (born May 31, 1962) is a legal scholar and economist, working primarily in the United States and Italy.

Since 2002, Parisi has split his time between teaching in the United States and Italy.

Parisi's work is often technical, relying on mathematical models and formal proofs to establish a practical point about the incentive structure of the law.

In particular, his work often focuses on logical symmetries, secondary effects, and evolutionary changes in the law.

[6] Parisi was the third American, after Robert Cooter and Guido Calabresi to receive the EALE Award.
