Italo Gariboldi (20 April 1879 – 3 February 1970) was an Italian senior officer in the Royal Army (Regio Esercito) before and during World War II.

From the end of World War I and through the interwar Period, Gariboldi rose in the ranks and held various staff, regimental and brigade level commands.

In December 1940, when the British launched Operation Compass, Gariboldi was in temporary command of the Tenth Army because General Mario Berti was on sick leave.

Ultimately, he was given command of the Tenth Army after it had been virtually destroyed, and Berti's replacement, General Giuseppe Tellera, had been killed in action.

In 1943, Gariboldi was in Italy when King Victor Emmanuel III and Marshal Pietro Badoglio ousted the dictator, Benito Mussolini, and then signed an armistice with the Allies.
