Piero Balbo (Manjimup, 12 June 1916 – Asti, 19 March 2003) was an Italian Resistance leader during World War II.

He was born in Australia, where his family lived for seven years, and after returning to Italy he graduated in law and became a lawyer.

At the time of the Armistice of Cassibile he was in Pola, where he was captured by the Germans on 11 September 1943, but was able to escape and return home on a bicycle.

He then joined the partisan groups that had formed in the Langhe after the German occupation of Italy, with the nom de guerre "Comandante Nord" and "Poli".

On 24 February 1945 his father, Giovanni Balbo, who had also joined the partisans, was killed in combat near Santo Stefano Belbo, for which he was posthumously awarded the Gold Medal of Military Valor).
