Quirino Armellini (31 January 1889 in Legnaro – 13 January 1975 in Rome) was an Royal Italian Army and Italian Army general, active during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War and the World War II.

After serving under the command of Pietro Badoglio in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War against the Ethiopian Empire, Armellini was appointed commander of the Italian African Police (PAI) in the Italian East Africa (AOI).

In 1942, during the World War II in Yugoslavia, Armellini was appointed commander of the XVIII Army Corps in the Italian-occupied Dalmatia.

After the fall of the Fascist regime in Italy on 25 July 1943, King Victor Emmanuel III appointed Armellini to succeed Benito Mussolini as the Commandant–General of the Voluntary Militia for National Security (MVSN), which he dissolved by integrating its components into the regular Royal Italian Army.

From January to March 1944, when Giuseppe Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo was arrested, Armellini assumed the role of head of the Fronte militare clandestino [it] of the Resistenza romana [it] within the Italian resistance movement, later replaced by Roberto Bencivenga [it].

After the World War II, Armellini was president of the Superior Council of the Italian Armed Forces.
