Pietro Palmieri (c.1925–1964) was an Italian racing driver. He entered 20 races (18 started), in Fiats, Maseratis, Ferraris and Alfa Romeos. Among his best results were one victory and one second-place finish. After resigning from racing, he was active in horse breeding. Pietro died in a car crash in Rome on 5 March 1964 at the age of 39.[1]

He is not to be confused with Pietro Giacomo Palmieri (1737-1804), a painter and printmaker.
