Giuseppe Conte (Italian pronunciation: [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈkonte]; born 8 August 1964) is an Italian jurist and politician. He was the 58th Prime Minister of Italy from 1 June 2018 until 13 February 2021.

On 20 August 2019, he officially announced his plans to resign from the position. However, eight days later, the parliament reappointed him as prime minister after forming a new coalition.

On January 25, 2021, it was reported that Conte would officially resign the next day after losing his party's majority and coalition support in the Italian Senate. He was replaced by Mario Draghi on 13 February 2021.
