Vincenzo Riccobono (1861–1943) was an Italian botanist, who researched extensively on cacti. He described the genus Trichocereus, now sunk into Echinopsis.[1]

While collecting specimens in Libya in 1943, he was shot by American soldiers after running away from them at a security checkpoint.

The standard author abbreviation Riccob. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[2]
