Giovanni Frapolli (* around 1775 in Scareglia; † 1826 in Odessa ), brother of Francesco, architect. He worked together with his older brother as the city architect of Odessa.

Then they designed the New Market and Greek Market districts; also the cathedral, the theater, which was rebuilt in 1872 after a fire, and the city hospital. The building boom that began in 1820 brought him many orders for administrative and residential buildings, only a few of which are still standing, including today's Hotel Frapolli. In 1825 he designed the cathedral's bell tower, which was completed by the Torricelli brothers and only later connected to the church.
