Giuseppe Levi (14 October 1872 – 3 February 1965) was an Italian anatomist and histologist, professor of human anatomy (since 1916) at the universities of Sassari, Palermo and Turin. He was a pioneer of in vitro studies of cultured cells, and contributed to the study of the nervous system, especially on the plasticity of sensory ganglion cells. While in Turin, Levi tutored three students who later won the Nobel Prize: Salvador Luria, Renato Dulbecco and Rita Levi-Montalcini.
He was admitted as a national member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei in 1926. In 1931 he subscribed to the oath of allegiance to the Fascist regime imposed to university professors.
