Giuseppe Greco (Italian: [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈɡrɛːko]; 4 January 1952 – September 1985) was a hitman and high-ranking member of the Sicilian Mafia. A number of sources refer to him exclusively as Pino Greco, although Giuseppe was his Christian name; Pino is a frequent abbreviation of the name Giuseppe.

One of the most prolific killers in criminal history, he was affiliated with the Ciaculli mafia family. Despite his surname, he was not related to the boss of Ciaculli Salvatore "Ciaschiteddu" Greco nor to the boss of Croceverde-Giardini Michele Greco. His father was also a Mafioso nicknamed Scarpa (Italian for "shoe"), hence his nickname of Scarpuzzedda, or "little shoe".
