Giovanni Giuseppe Bianconi, sometimes J. Josephi or Joseph Bianconi, was an Italian zoologist, herpetologist, botanist and geologist.
He was a Professor of Natural History at the University of Bologna. In the field of herpetology he described new species of amphibians and reptiles.
In 1874, Bianconi published a book on "independent creations", which utilised zoological arguments against Darwinism. Bianconi argued that "enlightened application of laws of mechanics, physics, physiology" led to the conclusion that every part of an organism had been created by the "unlimited intelligence" of God.
Bianconi argued that homologous structures are explained on mechanical principles. Darwin briefly mentioned Bianconi and rejected his arguments in a footnote in his The Descent of Man
