Domenico Sarro (December 24, 1679 – April 26, 1744), was an Italian composer.

He studied at the Neapolitan conservatory of S. Onofrio. He composed extensively in the early 1700s. He is best remembered today as the composer of Achille in Sciro, the opera that was chosen to open the new theater of San Carlo in 1737.
