Claudio Lotito (born 9 May 1957) is an Italian entrepreneur and politician. He is the owner and president of the Serie A football club Lazio since 2004.

Lotito earned his high school diploma in Classics at Ugo Foscolo Classical Lyceum in Albano Laziale and a Bachelor of Arts in pedagogy cum laude from the University of Rome I "La Sapienza".

Lotito was banned from football for two and a half years in July 2006 for his involvement in the 2006 Italian football scandal.[1] Lotito got banned again for ten months due to third-party ownership of Mauro Zárate and Julio Ricardo Cruz. However, it was shortened to two months after the appeal.[2] In 2018, he was second on the electoral list for the Senate in the Caserta-Avellino-Benevento district, close to Naples, for the coalition around Silvio Berlusconi[3] In March 2021, he was banned from football for two months due to Lazio breaching COVID-19 protocols.[4]
