Filippo Tortu (born 15 June 1998) is an Italian sprinter. He was the first Italian to break the 10-second barrier and is the second fastest Italian in the 100 metres after Marcell Jacobs. He ran the anchor leg in the 4 × 100 m relay of the Italian team that won a gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics. His leg was the fifth fastest anchor of all time.

He is coached by his father, Salvino Tortu, a former Sardinian sprinter who moved to Lombardy.
