Pietro Aradori (born December 9, 1988) is an Italian professional basketball player who plays for Grissin Bon Reggio Emilia of the Italian Serie A. Standing at 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in), he plays at the shooting guard and small forward positions.

The Brescia native played for the youth side of U.C. Casalpusterlengo from 2003, he was a teammate of Danilo Gallinari there. He debuted in the third division during the 2005-06 season. The next year he joined Andrea Costa Imola, of the second division. He averaged 12.8 points (team-best), 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 30 games for a side fighting relegation.

In June 2007, Aradori signed a three-year contract with Armani Jeans Milano. He made his Serie A (first division) debut that season, also playing in Europe's best competition, the Euroleague. Though he played regularly for the side, he did not manage to establish himself and finished the season with Lottomatica Roma, who he reached the 2008 Serie A finals with.

Aradori then moved to Pallacanestro Biella, he also struggled with form there before a March performance against Montegranaro, contributing 23 points on 7-for-8 three-point shooting, restored his confidence. He then became one of the main protagonists of Biella's Serie A semifinals run, their best ever finish. For his part in that success, he was awarded the (Italian), an award given by a number of organisation, as the Best Italian player of 2008-09. The next year, he had an excellent season in both the European second tier Eurocup and the league. In the latter, he posted 16.8 points (3rd best in Serie A), 5 rebounds and 2.1 steals, earning the Best Player Under 22 award.
