Sergio Panunzio (July 20, 1886-October 8, 1944) was an Italian theoretician in revolutionary syndicalism. In the 1920s, he became a major theoretician of Fascism.

Panunzio said that syndicalism is the historical development of Marxism. He pointed to George Sorel and Francesco Severio Merlino as revising Marx to fit the times and emboldening it.
