Giuseppe Antonio Tovini (14 March 1841 – 16 January 1897) was an Italian banker and lawyer who became a member of the Secular Franciscan Order. He was one of the founder of Banca di Valle Camonica, Banca San Paolo di Brescia and Banco Ambrosiano. His nephew was Mosè Tovini.
He was beatified in 1998 after a miracle was found to have been attributed to his intercession. The cause still continues as it awaits confirmation of another miracle.
