Scipione Piattoli (November 10, 1749 – April 12, 1809) was an Italian Catholic priest—a Piarist—an educator, writer and political activist, and a major figure of the Enlightenment in Poland. After ten years as a professor at the University of Modena in Italy, he migrated to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where he became associated with several magnate families—the Potockis, Lubomirskis and Czartoryskis. He was a member of the Duchess Dorothea von Medem's court in Courland (Lithuania) and of King Stanisław August Poniatowski's court in the Commonwealth.
