Guarino Foscari (c. 1080 - 6 February 1158) was an Italian Catholic Augustinian canon regular and also the Cardinal-Bishop of Palestrina from December 1144 after his relative Pope Lucius II elevated him into the cardinalate.
He is better known as "Guarinus of Palestrina" and is noted for his charitable compassion for the poor of Palestrina.
