Stefano Gattuso (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsteːfano ɡatˈtuːzo]; born 3 May 1984) is an Italian racing driver.

Born in Sarnico near Bergamo,[2] Gattuso started off in single-seaters, culminating in an Italian Formula 3000 Light Class title and a GP2 Series test in 2005.[3][4] He later embarked on a sports car racing career largely spent in the International GT Open.[5][6] A long-term Ferrari stalwart, Gattuso notably won for Kessel Racing in the 2009 FIA GT3 European Championship.[7][8] He was also part of the team's 2012 Blancpain Endurance Series trio that took two overall pole positions, together with Davide Rigon and Daniel Zampieri.[9][10]

After becoming Italian GT champion in 2015,[11] Gattuso switched to Lamborghini.[12][13][14]

In 2022, Gattuso was diagnosed with a rare soft-tissue sarcoma.[15] Upon recovery, he made a racing comeback as an FIA Bronze-rated driver in the FIA World Endurance Championship with Ford Racing.[16][17]
