Luigi Bellardi (18 May 1818 – 17 September 1889) was an Italian malacologist and entomologist who specialised in Diptera.

In 1872, then a Professor at Liceo Gioberti, Luigi Bellardi began I molluschi dei terreni terziari del Piemonte della Liguria a work on molluscs of the Middle and Early Tertiary in the Mediterranean basin. In 1888 he published the five parts dealing with Cephalopoda, Pteropoda and the first families of Gasteropoda. In 1889 his student Prof. Frederico Sacco (1864–1948) took over this work and published 25 more sections partly based on Bellardi’s work on this species rich fossil group.
