Gino Capponi, Marchese (jē´nō käp-pō´nē), 1792–1876, Italian politician, historian, and educator. He played an important part in the Risorgimento.

In 1848 he was president of the constitutional government in Tuscany, and he became a senator after the annexation (1860) of Tuscany to the kingdom of Sardinia. Of his historical writings, the history of the Florentine republic (3 vol., 1875) is best known.
