Horacio Casco (13 September 1868 – 6 December 1931) was an Argentine politician and fencer.

He competed in the foil and sabre competitions at the 1924 Summer Olympics. His nephew, Zelmar Casco, also became a fencer and represented Argentina at the 1964 Summer Olympics.

From 1927 to 1928 he was intendente (mayor) of Buenos Aires, appointed by President Marcelo T. de Alvear following the resignation of Carlos Noel. Later in life he served as president of Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata from 1920 to 1925.

A street in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Villa Lugano is named in his honour.
