Giuseppe Pizzardo (13 July 1877 – 1 August 1970) was an Italian Cardinal of the Catholic Church who served as prefect of the Congregation for Seminaries and Universities from 1939 to 1968, and Secretary of the Holy Office from 1951 to 1959. Pizzardo was elevated to the cardinalate in 1937.
Born in Savona, Pizzardo studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University, Pontifical Athenaeum S. Apollinare, and the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy before being ordained a priest on 19 September 1903.
From 1908 to 1909, he did pastoral work in Rome and served in the Vatican Secretariat of State. Pizzardo was raised to the rank of Monsignor, and appointed Secretary of the nunciature to Bavaria, on 7 June 1909. In the Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, he was appointed: Undersecretary (1920), Substitute (1921), and Secretary (1929). He became an apostolic protonotary on 11 January 1927.
Pope Pius XI appointed him Titular Archbishop of Cyrrhus on 28 March 1930, and on the following 22 April, Titular Archbishop of Nicaea. Pizzardo received his episcopal consecration on 27 April of that same year from Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, with Archbishop Giuseppe Palica and Francesco Marchetti-Selvaggiani serving as co-consecrators.
