List of Italian religious minority politicians

This is a list of Italian politicians belonging to a religious minority, different from the dominant Roman Catholicism.

To ensure notability, only leading politicians (ministers, deputies, senators, MEPs, regional councillors, mayors of big cities, party leaders, etc.) are included in the list. Active politicians and their current parties are shown in bold. The parties of which these people have been members are listed in chronological order.

Some of the politicians included in the list are lapsed, nominal or former believers, but all have retained their ethnic-religious background.

From 1861 to the first decades of the 20th century political parties were mostly loose parliamentary groups. "Right" refers both to the Historical Right (as linked, referred to also as Liberal Conservatives) of Camillo Benso di Cavour and Bettino Ricasoli and the Liberal Constitutional Party of Marco Minghetti and Sidney Sonnino. "Left" refers to the Historical Left (referred to also as Democrats) of Agostino Depretis and Francesco Crispi. "Lib" refers to the Liberals, later Liberal Union, which, under the leadership of Giovanni Giolitti and Giuseppe Zanardelli, emerged from the Historical Left and largely incorporated also elements of the Historical Right. "Far Left" refers to the Historical Far Left.

"Indep" indicates a politician unaffiliated to any party and acting as an Independent.
