List of Prussian ambassadors in Sardinia-Piedmont

This is a list of the Prussian ambassadors in the Duchy of Savoy (Savoyen-Piedmont) until 1720 , and the Kingdom of Sardinia (Sardinia-Piedmont) from 1720 to 1862. The unification of Italy as a nation-state under the leadership of Sardinia-Piedmont (1861) went around the unification of Germany 10 years earlier, whereby Prussia (until 1869) and the North German Confederation (until 1871) sent their diplomats to the newly formed Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946).

The capital of Sardinia-Piedmont (and Italy) and the official seat of the Prussian legation were Turin (until 1865) and Florence (1865–1870). In 1870 Rome became the capital of Italy.
