Giambattista Lolli (1698 in Nonantola, Italy – 4 June 1769) was an Italian chess player.
Lolli was one of the most important chess theoreticians of his time.
He is most famous for his book Osservazioni teorico-pratiche sopra il giuoco degli scacchi (English: Theoretical-practical views on the game of chess), published 1763 in Bologna.
He was one of the Modenese Masters.
The checkmate pattern "Lolli's mate" involves infiltrating an opponents fianchetto position using both a pawn and queen, and is named after Giambattista Lolli.
