Simone Pianigiani (born 31 May 1969) is an Italian professional basketball coach. He is the head coach for Hapoel Jerusalem of the Israeli Basketball Premier League.
Pianigiani was appointed the head coach of the Italian League club Montepaschi Siena before the 2006–07 season, and led his team to the Italian League championship in all six of his seasons on the bench. He was named the Italian League's Best Coach in 2007.
The 2008–09 Italian League season was especially notable, as Montepaschi won the Italian SuperCup before the season, the Italian Cup at mid-season, and won the Italian League championship, by sweeping all three of their playoff series. In 44 Italian domestic games that season, they lost only once — at Fortitudo Bologna, in an Italian League game.
In the summer of 2012, he signed a two-year contract with Fenerbahçe Ülker. He resigned from his position as manager of Fenerbahçe Ülker in February 2013, citing personal issues. At the time of his resignation, the team was in the top spot of the Turkish Basketball League; however, they were only in 7th place out of 8 teams in the top 16 stage of the EuroLeague.
In June 2016, he signed a two-year contract with Hapoel Jerusalem.
