Remo Mancini (born May 26, 1951) is a businessman and former politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1975 to 1993, and served as a cabinet minister in the government of David Peterson.
Mancini was born in Pescara, Italy. A gold medal gymnast, he received athletic scholarships to both U.S and Canadian Universities. Injuries ended Mancini's athletic career and formal education.
Mancini received an ICD.D certification from the Corporate Governance College at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto. The program is a joint initiative by Rotman and the Institute of Corporate Directors.
In 1972, Mancini was elected to the local municipal council of Anderdon township. In December 1974, Mancini was elected deputy reeve and Essex County councillor at the age of 23.
Mancini was elected to the provincial legislature the following year in the Ontario general election of 1975, defeating Progressive Conservative Frank Klees by just over 2,000 votes in Essex South. He defeated Klees again by a wider margin in the 1977 Ontario election, and easily retained his seat in the elections of 1981,1985 and 1987.
