Rocco Lentini (1858 – November 1943) was an Italian painter, noted for directing the team responsible for the ceiling decorations of the Teatro Massimo in Palermo.

The team consisted of Luigi Di Giovanni, Michele Cortegiani and Ettore De Maria Bergler.

[4] Lentini's concept for the ceiling (pictured) was that of a large wheel with gilded spokes which would contrast with the azure background.

In 1911, in collaboration with Ernesto Basile, he published the book titled Le sculture e gli stucchi di Giacomo Serpotta.

He organized and exhibited the Mostra Siciliana di Pittura, Scultura, Bianco e nero, held at Villa Gallidoro.
