Francesco Molinari (born 8 November 1982) is an Italian golfer. Molinari became a professional in 2004, and, at that season's qualifying school, earned full status on the PGA European Tour for the 2005 season, in which he ultimately finished in eighty-sixth place in the Tour's Order of Merit standings.

In May 2006, Molinari claimed his first Tour victory, becoming the first Italian since Massimo Mannelli in 1980 to win the Telecom Italia Open. He finished the year ranked 38th on the Order of Merit.

Molinari is the younger brother of Edoardo, the 2005 United States Amateur Champion.
