Luigi Luzzatti (March 11, 1841March 29, 1927) was an Italian political figure and served as Prime Minister of Italy between 1910 and 1911. He was Italy's second Jewish prime minister in a row, being preceded by Sidney Sonnino.

He is remembered for his book Dio nella libertà (God in Freedom), in which he advocates religious tolerance. This provoked an exchange of correspondence between him and Benedetto Croce.
