Agostino Bertani (19 October 1812 – 30 April 1886) was an Italian revolutionary and physician during Italian unification. He played a significant role in the development of Italy's public healthcare system during the 19th century. He is best known for organising medical services for Garibaldi's army and for co-founding the radical party Estrema sinistra storica. He was a close collaborator of Mazzini and Garibaldi. His contribution to the unification of Italy resulted in participation in most of the important military campaigns of the era.
