Giuseppe Gibilisco (born January 5, 1979 in Siracusa) is an Italian pole vaulter who won the 2003 World Championships with a personal best of 5.90m. He followed this with a bronze medal in the 2004 Olympics.

In 2007, he was suspended by the FIDAL (Italian Athletics Federation) with a two-year ban, due to his involvement in the "Oil for drug" case and his relation with suspect doctor Carlo Santuccione, even though he had never tested positive.
