Giuseppe Ceppetelli (15 March 1846 – 12 March 1917) was an Italian Catholic prelate who served as Titular Patriarch of Constantinople from 1903 until his death.

He was ordained on Holy Saturday of 1870 and was consecrated a bishop by the Vicar General of Rome, Raffaele Monaco La Valletta, in 1882.[1] He ordained the 22-year-old Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, the future Pope John XXIII, to the priesthood on 10 August 1904.[2]

He died on the eve of his 71st birthday in 1917 and was buried in Rome.
