Pietro Arduino (18 July 1728 – 13 April 1805) was an Italian botanist. He was custodian of the Botanical Garden of Padua in the period between the death of Giulio Pontedera and the appointment of his successor, Giovanni Marsili. Arduino was the first to give courses in agricultural science at an Italian university. The geologist Giovanni Arduino (1714–1795) was his brother, and the agriculturalist Luigi Arduino (1750–1833) was his son.
