Gregorio Magalotti (died 1537) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Chiusi (1534–1537)[1] and Bishop of Lipari (1532–1534).[2]

He served as Governor of the City of Rome from 1 April 1532 to 14 September 1534.[5] While he was governor, he wrote a treatise on the difficult subject of safe-conducts and ambassadorial immunities. It was published after his death, and was endorsed by Pope Sixtus V (1585–1590).[6]
