Paolo Monti (11 August 1908 – 29 November 1982) was an Italian photographer known for his architectural photography.

In his early period, Monti experimented with abstractionism as well as with effects such as blurring and diffraction. In 1953, he became a professional photographer. He mainly worked with architecture reproductions, which were used by magazines and book editors for illustration. Starting from 1966, Monti catalogued historic centers of Italian cities.
