Delphino Moracchini (1846–1903) was a French colonial administrator who served in French Guiana, French India, French Polynesia and New Caledonia. He was appointed assistant to the Governor of Martinique in 1890, where his prompt action in responding to a fire in Fort-de-France led to his being appointed governor the next year. He dealt efficiently with recovery from a major hurricane in 1891. In 1895, he was transferred to Guadeloupe, where he had to deal with an earthquake, fire and hurricane.
