Count Monaldo Leopardi (Recanati, 16 August 1776 – Recanati, 30 April 1847) was an Italian philosopher, nobleman, politician and writer, notable as one of the main Italian intellectuals of the counter-revolution. His son Giacomo Leopardi was a poet and thinker with completely opposite views, which were probably the root cause of their discord.

Among his most successful works were the Dialoghetti sulle materie correnti nell’anno 1831 appreciated among others by the young Vincenzo Gioacchino Pecci (1810-1903), the future Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) which went through six editions and was translated into French, Dutch and German; the Istoria evangelica (1832), praised by Pope Gregory XVI (1831-1846) and translated into Spanish; Il Catechismo filosofico per uso delle scuole inferiori (1832), reprinted and adopted in the schools of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies; and La città della filosofia (1833).
