Grazio Braccioli (1682–1752) was an Italian jurist, poet and librettist. Born in Ferrara, he wrote 9 libretti for operas produced at the Teatro Sant'Angelo in Venice between 1711 and 1715. Among them were the libretti for Antonio Vivaldi's Orlando furioso and Orlando finto pazzo.Talbot, Michael (2011). The Vivaldi Compendium, pp. 35–36. Boydell Press.
Braccioli was a doctor of civil and canon law, and lectured in both at the University of Ferrara. He was also a member of the Accademia degli Arcadi, for whom he wrote under the pseudonym "Nigello Preteo".Talbot, Michael (2008). The Business of Music, p. 28. Liverpool University Press
