Carlo Bonfanti (13 May 1884 – 8 December 1933) was an Italian diver.[1] He competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics and the 1912 Summer Olympics.[2]

Bonfanti, born in Milan in 1884, was among the first competitive divers in his country's history.[1] He was affiliated with Nettuno Milano and was selected to compete at the 1906 Intercalated Games, the 1908 and 1912 Olympics.[1] Early in his career, diving was regarded as only entertainment in Italy, but his international appearances changed how the sport was viewed in the nation.[1] After retiring, Bonfanti was in Milano an instructor.[1] He died in 1933, after suffering a heart attack while mountain climbing.[1]
