Leo Longanesi (30 August 1905 – 27 September 1957) was an Italian journalist, writer and publisher.
Born in Bagnacavallo, Longanesi founded the eponymous publishing house in Milan in 1946. Between 1927 and 1950, he published several magazines including L'Italiano (1927), a political and literary fortnightly tied to Strapaese movement; Omnibus (1937), a weekly rotogravure newspaper; and Il Borghese (1950), a cultural and satirical weekly, conservative-oriented.
Longanesi was also an elegant and refined cartoonist and wrote several books of memoirs, characterised by a ruthless streak and Fascist nostalgic accents (In piedi e seduti, Una vita, Ci salveranno le vecchie zie?).
