Claudio Di Veroli (born 1946) is an Italian-Argentinian harpsichordist who has written four books on baroque performance practice. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he was raised in an Italian family and attended Italian primary and secondary school. He studied privately in Buenos Aires under (piano and interpretation), (harmony) and Ljerko Spiller (chamber music), obtained a degree in Mathematics from the University of Buenos Aires and a PhD in Statistics from Imperial College, London. Living in Europe in the early 70's he studied harpsichord with Colin Tilney in London and in Paris.

He then returned to Buenos Aires, where he pioneered the performance of Baroque music based on ancient practices. He was Professor of Harpsichord and examiner of the Organ course at the Conservatorio Nacional in Buenos Aires. He has lived in Ireland since 2001. He recently offered a masterclass in his adopted city of Bray, Ireland. As a soloist he has performed extensively in concert halls, churches and television, both solo and with ensembles. In 1984, a reviewer observed that he, "did not miss any detail in order to complete the historical legitimacy of his performance, and also produced a logical, live expressivness". A year later, the same reviewer noted his "virtuosity in the formidable 'Cadenza' of the Fifth Brandenburg Concerto", a performance which was the world's first contemporary one with Baroque fingerings.

He is the author of four books as well as many papers. Favourable reviews have appeared in Stimulus, Early Music America and the British Clavichord Society Newsletter.).
