Giuseppe Marcinò (24 October 1589 – 16 November 1655), religious name Innocenzo of Caltagirone, was an Italian priest and a member of the Capuchins. He was well known for his frequent and often sensational predications and miracles attributed to him since 1623. Due to this he was granted the moniker of "the miracle worker of the earth".

He was declared to be Venerable in 2009 after the recognition of his life of heroic virtue. A miracle required for him to be beatified is now under investigation and must receive papal approval before beatification can take place.
