Ivo Stefanoni (born 5 June 1936) is an Italian rowing cox and Olympic champion.

Stefanoni was born in Mandello del Lario in 1936, and he rowed with GS Moto Guzzi.[1]

At the 1956 European Rowing Championships, Stefanoni won a bronze medal with the coxed four.[2] Later that year, he received a gold medal in the coxed four event at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, together with Alberto Winkler, Angelo Vanzin, Romano Sgheiz and Franco Trincavelli.[3]

For the 1957 European Rowing Championships, Stefanoni changed to the eight and won gold; he repeated this success at the 1958 European Rowing Championships.[4] At the 1960 Summer Olympics, he won the bronze medal with the Italian boat in the coxed four competition.[1]

For the 1961 European Rowing Championships, Stefanoni was back in the eight and they won gold.[4] Three rowers from the 1961 crew remained with the Italian eight that competed at the 1964 Summer Olympics and came sixth: Giampietro Gilardi, Sereno Brunello and Stefanoni.[4][5]
