Vincent Riolo (born 1947) is a Maltese philosopher mostly interested and specialised in logic and the philosophy of language.
He studied philosophy at the University of Malta and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany, where he was a student of Paul Lorenzen (March 24, 1915 – October 1, 1994), founder of the Erlangen School.
