Paolo Spadoni (1764 – 16 September 1826) was an Italian zoologist and geologist.
He was born in Corinaldo in the province of Ancona to an aristocratic family and went to study at the University of Bologna. From there he moved to Pavia to study under Lazzaro Spallanzani. He gained the appointment to the professorship of zoology, mineralogy (geology), botany and natural history at the University of Macerata. He traveled extensively through the peninsula and was granted honorary membership to many of the scientific academies. He helped design the botanical gardens around the Villa Cesarini Duranti in Corinaldo. Spadoni died in his native land. A eulogy of Spadoni by the doctor Francesco Pucinotti was published in 1830 in Macerata.
