Pietro Figlioli (born May 29, 1984 in Rio de Janeiro) is an Australian water polo player. Figlioli was part of Australia's Olympic squad for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He was also a member of the Australian squad that finished 10th at the 2007 FINA World Championships in Melbourne and won the bronze medal at the 2007 FINA Water Polo World League in Berlin.

Figlioli is widely regarded as the fastest swimmer and shooter in world water polo. In 2006 he signed a 5-year contract with Italian club Pro Recco believed to be worth 6-figures each year. To date this is the best international contract ever secured by an Australian water polo player.
