Giovanni Magnani (fl. 1913) was a Romanian-Italian entrepreneur who lived in Bucharest at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1911 he fabricated a set of propellers for A Vlaicu II airplane, thus becoming the first propeller manufacturer in Southeast Europe.

Before meeting Vlaicu, Magnani built around 1910 in Bucharest an ornithopter that never flew.[1]

After Vlaicu's death, one of the two aircraft on order from for Marconi Company was completed by Magnani and Constantin Silisteanu, and was tested in 1914 by pilot Petre Macavei on Cotroceni airfield.
