Luca Antonio Pagnini (15 January 1737 – 21 March 1814) was an Italian writer and a scholar and translator of Greco-Roman literature.
His abilities and the good training he received from Cesare Franchini attracted attention to him, and the Carmelites invited him to join their chapter in Florence.
The writer Frugoni took note of the young man and obtained for him an appointment as teacher in the University of Parma.
He was forced to leave Parma after the death of Duke Ferdinand, and move to Pisa, where he was named as professor of Greek, and afterwards of Latin literature.
Among Pagnini's translations is a version of the Greek bucolic poets: Poesie Bucoliche Italiane, Latine, e Greche, Parma, 1780.
