Gian Paolo Pillitteri (5 December 1940  5 December 2024) was an Italian politician, film critic, and journalist. He was affiliated with the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) and the Italian Democratic Socialist Party (PSDI). Pillitteri began his political career when the PSI and PSDI were unified. Following the 1969 party split, he joined the PSDI, which at the time was known as the Unitary Socialist Party (PSU), before it became the PSDI in 1971.

After returning to the PSI in 1976, Pillitteri served in the Chamber of Deputies in the Legislature IX (1983–1987) and Legislature XI (1992–1994). In 1985, he was elected as mayor by the City Council of Milan. He held this position until 1992. His political career ended due his involvement and subsequent conviction in the Tangentopoli scandal.
