Franco Uncini (born 9 March 1955) is an Italian former professional motorcycle road racer.

He made his debut as professional motorcycle road racer in the 750cc class with Laverda, moving later to Ducati, with whom he earned various titles as Italian champion.

However, his quarrelsome relationship with teammate Walter Villa forced him to move back to Yamaha.

Finally, with a competitive vehicle, Uncini won the World Championship in 1982, scoring five victories (GPs of Austria, Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Great Britain and GP of Nations).
