Giovanni Battista Franzoni (born 8 November 1928, Varna) is a Christian communist and dissident Catholic theologian. A popular abbot at St. Paul's Outside the Walls, one of the most popular churches in Rome, he was defrocked by Pope Paul VI, with whom he had feuded over theology, during the Cold War, after he had announced his intention to vote for the Italian Communist Party in 1976, which Franzoni had joined in June of that year.〔("Pope Defrocks Priest". ) ''Ellensburg Daily Record''. 5 August 1976.

Franzoni is the author of numerous theological works. Franzoni is a longtime peace activist, having stood against the United States' invasions of Vietnam and Iraq.〔("Giovanni FRANZONI (1928-vivente)" ) ''Donne e uomini di pace — viventi''. PeaceLink.
