Carlo Alfredo Piatti (January 8, 1822 – July 18, 1901) was an Italian violoncellist. He was born at Borgo Canale, near Bergamo and died in Mozzo near Bergamo.

The son of a violinist, he became a pupil at the conservatorio of Milan. From 1838, he journeyed over Europe, playing with extraordinary success in all the important cities of the continent. In 1844 he appeared before the London public at a Philharmonic Concert. In 1859, on the foundation of the Popular Concerts, he took up the work with which he was most intimately connected for thirty-nine seasons. He retained until 1897 the post of first violoncello at these famous chamber concerts, during the latter half of each series. He played a Stradivarius which now is named after him Piatti and is owned by the Mexican cellist Carlos Prieto.

He composed two cello concertos, one cello concertino, six cello sonatas, lieder for voice and cello accompaniment, and cello solos, as well as a cello method.
