Carlo Camillo Lazzarini (24 April 1880 – 26 November 1952), also known as Charlie Lazzarini, was an Australian politician affiliated with the Australian Labor Party. He was elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, where he served for 35 years.
The son of Italian immigrant Piedro (Peter) Lazzarini and his wife Hannah (Annie) Stubbs, Lazzarini was born at Wombat, near Young, New South Wales. He was educated at the Young convent school and Young Superior Public School, before becoming a tailor's apprentice.
Lazzarini became active in the union movement and the Labor Party, joining the Young Labor League in 1899. He became secretary and president of the league and was campaign secretary for Chris Watson in the 1898 New South Wales election and the first federal election in 1901. He was also strongly involved in the predominantly Irish Catholic community, acting as district secretary of the Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society and attending the founding meeting of the Irish National Association.
After moving to Sydney, Lazzarini was secretary and president of the Federated Clothing Trades' Union from 1912-17. A member of the moderates faction, he was strongly against conscription in the First World War, and in 1916 became a founding member of the Industrial Vigilance Committee, which was responsible later that year for the expulsion from the Labor Party of conscription advocates such as prime minister Billy Hughes and premier William Holman. On this committee until 1919, he was also a member of the party central executive in 1916 and 1917, and was vice-president of the No Imperial Federation League in 1917.
