Giovanni Mauro (21 July 1888 – 12 May 1958) was an Italian footballer, sports administrator, and referee.[2]

He played friendly games only for A.C. Milan from 1909 to 1911.[3]

He was an elite referee from 1911 to 1917.[3] On 7 June 1925, he served as a referee in one of the finals between Genoa and Bologna of the 1924–25 Prima Divisione (Northern League).[2]

He also refereed 23 times at international level, including two matches at the Olympic Games: Spain–Sweden at the 1920 Summer Olympics on 1 September 1920 and Egypt–Portugal at the 1928 Summer Olympics on 3 June 1928.[4][5]

He was President of the Italian Referees Association from 1920 to 1927.[2]
