Gaetano Pugnani (Torino, 27 de novembre de 1731 - Torino, 15 de juliol de 1798) va ser un violinista i compositor italià. Es va formar amb Giovanni Battista Somis abans d'entrar, el 1741, com a segon violinista de l'orquestra del Teatro Regio de Torí en un càrrec oficialitzat el 19 d'abril de 1748. El 1749 va viatjar a Roma on va estudiar amb Francesco Ciampi fins a l'entorn del 1750. Aquell any va tornar a Torí on va tornar al seu anterior càrrec a l'orquestra teatral. Amb el temps, i gràcies a les seves habilitats com a violinista, va anar guanyant prestigi fins el punt de participar amb material propi en el Concert Spirituel de París de 1754, ciutat on va publicar algunes de les seves primeres col·leccions. El 1767 es va traslladar a Londres on va servir com a director del King’s Theatre fins el 1769 i on va estrenar, amb gran èxit, la seva òpera Nanetta e Lubino. També a Londres va col·laborar estretament amb compositors locals, com per exemple amb Johann Christian Bach. El 1770 va tornar a Torí on va ser nomenat primer violinista de la cort en un càrrec que també incloïa la direcció de l'orquestra del Teatro Regio. El 1776 va ser nomenat director general de música instrumental i el 1786 supervisor de les bandes militars. Entre els anys 1780 i 1784 va escriure nombroses òperes per encàrrec de la ciutat de Nàpols i va viatjar diverses vegades acompanyat, entre altres, del seu alumne Viotti. El 1796 va viatjar a Viena on va representar la suite orquestral Werther amb text de Goethe. Els darrers anys va tornar a Torí on va viure la dissolució de tota l'estructura musical de la ciutat com a conseqüència de la guerra amb França. Gaetano Pugnani, considerat un dels més grans violinistes del segle XVIII, va morir a Torí el juliol de 1798.
