Vittorio Goretti (born 1939 – 7 July 2016) was an Italian amateur astronomer and a discoverer of minor planets at his observatory in Pianoro, on the outskirts of Bologna, Italy.
Vittorio Goretti is a retired teacher of physics and mathematics at secondary school level in Bologna. He has discovered 32 main-belt asteroids, all of them assigned permanent numbers. He is a member of the Cortina Astronomical Association (Associazione Astronomica Cortina) and is also a collaborator with the Minor Planet Center (MPC) at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory monitoring near-Earth Asteroids brighter than magnitude 18.0 V under the auspices of Division III of the International Astronomical Union at his own Pianoro Observatory (MPC Observatory 610).
