Giorgio Miceli (21 October 1836 in Reggio Calabria – 1895, Italy) was an Italian opera composer who played mandolin and wrote music for the instrument.^[1]

He was the composer for the operetta Zoe and for the music A Grand Serenade for Mandolin Band.^[1] He wrote other works for both the mandolin and the guitar, as well as for other instruments.^[1]

His son Giuseppe Miceli was also a successful performer and composer for the mandolin, including Danza Zingaresca for mandolin with piano accompaniment.^[1]

His operetta Zoe, performed in 1852, was his first; he was only 16.^[1] Zoe was given in 40 performances, and he had a second opera the next year which performed similarly.^[1] His plays were banned by the Naples authorities and he became a teacher.^[1] He continued to play, entering musical competitions in Naples and Florence.^[1] His work A Grand Serenade for Mandolin Band, done for the Maritime Exhibition in Naples did well, and he was knighted as a result in 1875.^[1]
