Giovanni Giudici (26 June 1924, in Le Grazie – 24 May 2011, in La Spezia) was an Italian poet and journalist.

Giovanni Giudici spent his childhood in Le Grazie, where his mother gave him a strict Catholic education; her death (which occurred on 8 November 1927) hurled Giovanni down to an "abyss of deprivation". After just one year, his father married another woman, and the family moved to Cadimare. The years between 1927 and 1935 were particularly hard since Giovanni was forced to move from town to town several times because of his father's work. He finally settled in Monte Sacro, where he attended the local high school. In 1941, he enrolled at university to study medicine, but was fascinated by literature and often attended Italian literature classes at the Faculty of Humanities ("Facoltà di Lettere"). In 1942, he decided to quit studying medicine, and he enrolled at the Faculty of Humanities. In 1956 he went to work for Olivetti. He died on 24 May 2011 at the age of 86.
