Giorgio Mondini (born July 19, 1980) is an Italo-Swiss former racing driver who last competed in the 2018 European Le Mans Series. In 2004, he was champion of the Formula Renault V6 Eurocup series. He previously served as a Formula One test driver for Midland.

Mondini began his competitive racing career at the age of 20, with no karting experience, when he came 26th in the Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup series with Jenzer Motorsport. In 2002, he made his way up to 17th place with the same team.

His first partnership with EuroInternational came when he graduated to the 2003 Formula Renault V6 Eurocup season, where he achieved 7th place. In 2004, he became champion with three wins, three pole positions and a total of eight podiums. The following year, he competed in start of the Formula Renault 3.5 Series before graduating to GP2. He returned for the season finale once the GP2 season finished, replacing Will Power at Carlin Motorsport, but retired from both races. He finished 24th in the standings.

In 2005, he moved to GP2 with DPR, replacing Ryan Sharp. However, he failed to score any points, and was not classified in the standings. He also competed for the Swiss A1GP team for the 2005-06 A1 Grand Prix season, teaming up with Neel Jani – the pair finished second.

In December 2005, Mondini enjoyed his first taste of Formula One when he got behind the wheel of a Renault R25 as a reward for winning the Formula Renault V6 series.

In 2016, Mondini joined Midland F1 Racing as one of their third drivers, testing at nine of the 18 races.

On February 20, 2011, Mondini tested a F1 car for Hispania Racing in Barcelona.

Mondini switched to prototypes in 2009, competing in the Le Mans Series. The same year, he made his Le Mans debut, driving an Audi R10 TDI LMP1 for Kolles, joined in the car by Christian Bakkerud and Christijan Albers. The trio qualified thirteenth, starting on row seven alongside their sister car. They finished in ninth overall.
