Mario Oliveri (born 22 January 1944) is an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church and the Bishop Emeritus of Albenga-Imperia, serving as bishop from 1990 to 2016.

Mario Oliveri was born on 22 January 1944 within the Diocese of Acqui in Campo Ligure, a comune in the Province of Genoa and region of Liguria in Italy. He was born the youngest of four children to a farming family.

Oliveri studied in seminaries in Acqui and in Turin.

On 29 June 1968, he was ordained a priest in the Acqui Cathedral by Bishop Giuseppe Dell'Omo.

He later studied in Rome, where defended his doctoral thesis in canon law from the Pontifical Lateran University, which was published by Marietti Editore and later by the Vatican Publishing House. From 1970 to 1972, he took courses at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy.

On 1 July 1972, Oliveri entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See, first as secretary of the apostolic nunciature in Dakar, Senegal, and later at the Secretariat of State in Rome as secretary to Cardinal Giovanni Benelli. From 1978 to 1985, he served in the apostolic nunciature in London and Paris before being recalled to the apostolic nunciature in Rome.
