Leonello Casucci (1885 – 1975) was an Italian composer.

Casucci is best known for composing the music of the world-famous song "Schöner Gigolo" (translated to "Just a Gigolo" in English) in 1929, with lyrics by Julius Brammer. Italian lyrics by Enrico Frati with the title "Gigolò" were published in 1930.[1] The English lyrics for "Just a Gigolo" were provided by Irving Caesar.
