Carlo Gregorio Verdone (born 17 November 1950) is an Italian actor, screenwriter and film director.

Verdone is best known for his comedic roles in Italian classics, which he also wrote and directed. His career was jumpstarted by his first three successes, Fun Is Beautiful (1980), Bianco, rosso e Verdone (1981) and Talcum Powder (1982). Since the 1990s, he has been introducing more serious subjects in his work, linked to the excesses of society and the individual's hardships in confronting it; some examples are Damned the Day I Met You (1992), My Best Enemy (2006) and Me, Them and Lara (2010).
