Gianni di Marco is a fictional character from the BBC serial drama EastEnders, played by Marc Bannerman from 1998 to 2000.

Gianni arrives in Walford along with the rest of the di Marco family in 1998. Gianni is the younger of the two brothers in the family, the other being Beppe di Marco (Michael Greco). He has two younger sisters Teresa and Nicky (Leila Birch and Carly Hillman). Gianni works as a chef in the family restaurant, Giuseppe's, named after his late father. He later becomes the manager of the restaurant.

He has a relationship with Annie Palmer (Nadia Sawalha), which is stopped when there are doubts over whether Gianni's real father is actually Annie's father George (Paul Moriarty). DNA tests prove Gianni really is a di Marco, but his relationship with Annie doesn't continue. He then has a relationship with Jackie Owen (Race Davies), but discovers that she suffers from severe PMT, and this makes their relationship more and more difficult when Gianni has to put up with Jackie's violent temper and foul moods. Eventually, Jackie leaves Walford with her brother Steve Owen (Martin Kemp) and her relationship with Gianni is over.
