Sebastian Giovinco (Italian pronunciation: ; born 26 January 1987) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a forward. A quick and creative player on the ball, Giovinco was a versatile forward capable of playing in multiple offensive positions.

Giovinco began his professional career with Italian club Juventus in Serie B in 2006, and soon spent loan spells with Italian clubs Empoli and Parma. He signed for Toronto FC in 2015, a deal which made him the league's highest paid player. Among his trophies with the club are three Canadian Championships and the MLS Cup. Individually, he won the MLS Golden Boot, the MLS Newcomer of the Year Award, the MLS MVP Award, the George Gross Memorial Trophy for the most valuable player of the Canadian Championship, and the CONCACAF Champions League Golden Ball. He left as the club's all-time top goalscorer. In 2019, he joined Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, where he won the AFC Champions League in his first year with the team and the Saudi Pro League and King Cup in his second season.

At international level, Giovinco made his debut with the Italy senior side in 2011, and has since collected over 20 caps; he later also took part at UEFA Euro 2012, where he won a runners-up medal, and at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, where he won a bronze medal and scored his only international goal.
