Giulio Gaudini (born September 28, 1904 in Rome , † January 6, 1948 there ) was an Italian foil and epee fencer.

Gaudini first took part in the Olympic Games in foil in 1924. During the final fights, the Italian team withdrew in protest on a referee's decision, so that he left the games without a medal. At the games four years later in Amsterdam he finally won the gold medal with the foil team and a few days later the bronze medal in the individual.

In 1928 at the Olympic Games in Amsterdam , Gaudini won gold with the foil team and bronze in the foil singles.

At the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1932 , he also took part in saber competitions for the first time and was also successful there. He won the silver medal with both the saber and foil team and the silver medal in the saber singles and the bronze medal in the foil singles.

At the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin , he again took part in both disciplines. With the foil team he set a new record with 104 wins to 19 defeats and won the gold medal against the French team. Two days later, he won his only gold medal in an individual competition in the individual foil. A few days later he lost with the saber team against the team from Hungary and only took silver. He ended his Olympic career with a sixth place in the saber individual competition.

With the foil team he won the International Fencing Championships in 1929 , 1930 , 1931 , 1934 and 1935 , 1930 and 1934 he also won the foil singles. In 1938 he won again with the Saber team.
