Pietro Saccardo (Venice, September 28, 1830 – Chirignago, November 19, 1903) was an Italian architect.

Facade of the Church of Sant'Andrea Apostolo in Favaro Veneto, designed by Saccardo.

He was born and resided in Venice. Among his works in Venice, in 1881, are restorations of Villa Pisani in Mirano; and a Belltower and church of Chirignago, one of the mainland boroughs of Venice; and the Colonia Agricola Astori in Milan.

From 1887 to 1902, he was proto or architect of the Basilica of St Mark and the Scuola di San Rocco in Venice. He restored many of the mosaics in the basilica. His assistant with wall paintings was Pietro Roi. Saccardo was blamed for not preventing the collapse of the St Mark's Campanile in 1902.[1]
