Luigi Malabrocca (22 June 1920 – 1 October 2006) was an Italian road cyclist.
He formed a rivalry with Sante Carollo for the Maglia nera at the Giro d'Italia. He 'won' the rivalry, earning the jersey twice to Carollo's once.
While noted for his rivalry, he was also an accomplished cyclist. He won the Italian National Cyclo-cross Championships in 1951 and 1953, as well as winning the 1947 Paris-Nantes, the 1948 Coppa Ugo Agostoni and the 1949 Tour of Yugoslavia.
