Pio Bruno Pancrazio Lanteri, OMV (12 May 1759 – 5 August 1830) was an Italian religous priest. He founded the Oblates of the Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia in northwestern Italy in the early 19th century. His spiritual life and work centered on the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola. He was also renowned for challenging Jansenism by distributing books and other publications that promoted the moral theology of Alphonsus Liguori, as well as establishing societies to continue this work.

Lanteri has been declared venerable by the Catholic Church.
