Vincenzo Silvano Casulli (born 1944; usually known as Silvano Casulli) is an Italian astronomer.

In 1985 he served on a team involved in using the Hubble Space Telescope in a study that focused on Transition Comets -- UV Search for OH Emissions in Asteroids.

He was the first amateur astronomer to obtain precise astronometric positions of minor planets using a CCD camera. He is a prolific discoverer of asteroids, and minor planet 7132 Casulli is named in his honor.

He lives and works near Rome, Italy.
