Giovanni Bertone (1884 in Mondovì - 1972) was an Italian automobile designer, known for establishing the Carrozzeria Bertone brand.
He had worked as a carriage wheelmaker, and was employed at Diatto (1907) when he established his own carriage building and repair shop in Corsa Pesciera (1912). Being a friend of Vincenzo Lancia, he got contracts from Fiat and thus entered the automobile design market, his first selfmade car being based on a Società Piemontese Automobili 9000 (1921). His son Nuccio Bertone (1914-1997) took over the company (1946).
