Carlo Giuseppe Matteo Marangoni (* April 29, 1840 in Pavia; †April 14, 1925 in Florence) was an Italian physicist.
Marangoni graduated in 1865 from the University of Pavia, under the supervision of Professor Cantoni, with a dissertation entitled "Sull' espansione delle goccie liquide".
He them moved to Florence where he first worked at the "Museo di Fisica" (1866) and later at the Liceo Dante (1870), where he held a position of High School Physics Teacher for 45 years, until retirement in 1916.
