Randolfo Pacciardi (1 January 1899 – 14 April 1991) was an Italian politician.
He was a long-time member of the secular, centre-left Italian Republican Party.
An ardent anti-fascist, he lived in exile for many years and was an officer of the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. He was later politically active in post-war Italy. His support for various plans to install a presidential republic in Italy during the Cold War has been a source of controversy.
