Giacinto Ghia (18 September 1887 to 21 February 1944) was an Italian automobile coachbuilder and the founder of Carrozzeria Ghia. He worked as a test driver at Rapid and Diatto until he was seriously injured in 1915, the same year in which he established Carrozzeria Ghia and Gariglio with his partner Gariglio. After his factory was destroyed in an Allied bombing raid in 1943, he died of heart failure while overseeing the rebuilding of his company, leaving the coachbuilder that bears his name to continue after him.
