Bruno Giacometti (born August 24, 1907) is a Swiss architect and the brother of the artists Alberto and Diego Giacometti. He is among the most notable post-World War II architects in Switzerland.

He was born in Stampa. After studies with Otto Salvisberg and Karl Moser at the Federal Institute of Technology, Giacometti worked as an architect in Zürich, initially for Karl Egender. There, he designed the Hallenstadion (1939) and the hygiene and pharmacology institutes of the University of Zürich (1960) among others. His other main works include the Swiss pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1952, the schools of Brusio (1962), the Uster town hall (1965) and the Chur natural history museum (1982).

Giacometti was married to Odette Duperret from 1935 until her death in February 2007. He lives in Zollikon near Zürich.
