Giovanni Antonio Grassi, S.J. (10 September 1775 – 12 December 1849), anglicized as John Anthony Grassi, was an Italian Catholic priest and Jesuit who led many academic and religious institutions in Europe and the United States. Born in Schilpario in the Republic of Venice, Grassi studied in Bergamo and Colorno, where he entered the Society of Jesus. Because the Society was suppressed by the pope, he completed his education at the Jesuit College in Połock, as the Jesuits were allowed to operate in the Russian Empire. He proved to be an excellent student of the natural sciences, especially mathematics and astronomy, in which he would later engage in research, and was appointed rector of the college's Institute for Nobles.
