Pietro Paolo Tomasi (7 April 1873 – 4 December 1962), known as Pietro Tomasi della Torretta after his title marchese della Torretta (borne by courtesy as a younger son of a Prince of Lampedusa), was an Italian politician and diplomat. He ultimately inherited the family title of Prince of Lampedusa from his nephew, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (d. 1957), and was its last holder either officially or by inheritance. From 1922 to 1927, he served as the Ambassador of Italy to the United Kingdom and from 20 July 1944 until his resignation on 25 June 1946, he served as President of the Senate.
