Clorindo Manuel José Testa (born December 10, 1923 in Naples, Italy - died April 11, 2013 in Buenos Aires, Argentina ) was an Italian-Argentine architect and artist. He graduated from the School of Architecture at the Universidad de Buenos Aires in 1948.

With his work he is one of the leaders of the Argentine rationalist movement and is one of the pioneers of the brutalist movement in Argentina. His style as an architect has always been influenced by his artistic nature, with projects dominated by the effects of colour, tension, metaphors and plasticity, these aspects are well illustrated in his designs for the Biblioteca Nacional de la República Argentina and the Banco de Londres building in Buenos Aires.
