Simone Raineri (born 7 February 1977 in Bozzolo, Mantua) is an Italian competition rower and Olympic champion.

He received a gold medal in quadruple sculls at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, together with Agostino Abbagnale, Rossano Galtarossa, and Alessio Sartori.2

In the same event, he went on to win a European silver in 2007 and three World Championship medals – a bronze at Lucerne in 2001, another bronze at Sevilla in 2003, and a silver at Cambridge in 2010. After a disappointing 2004 Olympics, Raineri helped Italy’s quad win silver behind Poland at the 2008 Beijing Games, before competing at his fourth Olympics in London in 2012.
