Giovanni Visconti (born 13 January 1983 in Turin) is an Italian professional road racing cyclist for UCI ProTour team Quick Step. Visconti won the Italian National Championship road race on July 1 2007, beating Paolo Bossoni (Lampre-Fondital) and Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner) at the end in a sprint. At 12 km to go, Rebellin made his move. Visconti, Bossoni, and Christian Murro (Tenax-Menikini) took the wheels of the Gerolsteiner's rider. The four were able to keep the peloton away until the final meters.

"I'm over the moon," Visconti said, "I have thought about this race for a long time. The teamwork was perfect, and Bettini helped me a lot to stay calm and concentrate for the final. It's the best moment of my career. I won a lot when I was an espoir but nothing is comparable to this fantastic day!"Fact|date=July 2007

It was the 24-year-old's second victory after the 2006 Coppa Sabatini.
