Giuseppe Bonno (January 29, 1711 – April 15, 1788) was a composer.
He was born in Vienna and studied music in Naples under Francesco Durante and Leonardo Leo. He later moved back to Vienna, becoming a court composer there, and working as Kapellmeister to the Prince of Saxe-Hildburghausen in the 1750s and 1760s. He died in Vienna.
Bonno's works are rarely heard today, but he was a prominent figure in Viennese musical life in his day and his works were often performed. Most of his pieces are for vocal forces, with oratorios, masses and other sacred works and pieces for the stage (including some collaborations with Metastasio).
