Paolo Boselli (1838-1932) was an Italian politician who served as Prime Minister of Italy during World War I. Boselli, a relatively undistinguished politician of the right-center who, at 78, was one of the oldest deputies in the Italian parliament, was appointed Prime Minister in June, 1916, following the fall of the Salandra government as a result of Italian military reverses. Boselli proved an incompetent wartime leader, and his government fell in October 1917 as a result of the Italian military defeat at Caporetto.
