Joseph Rollino (March 19, 1905 – January 11, 2010) was an American decorated World War II veteran, weightlifter, and strongman.
The son of Italian immigrants, Rollino dubbed himself the world's strongest man in the 1920s, moving 3,200 pounds (1,500 kg) with his back during the prime of his career.
Only 5 feet 5 inches (1.65 m) tall and weighing 150 pounds (68 kg), Rollino allegedly began lifting weights in the 1920s and trained for a time with Warren Lincoln Travis.
Rollino also became known as a strongman, moving more than a ton, bending nails with his mouth and coins with his bare hands.
