Bernardino Ramazzini (4 October 1633 – 5 November 1714) was an Italian physician.
(Italian pronunciation: [bernar'dino ramats'tsini]) Ramazzini, along with Francesco Torti, was an early proponent of the use of cinchona bark (from which quinine is derived) in the treatment of malaria.
His most important contribution to medicine was his book on occupational diseases, De Morbis Artificum Diatriba ("Diseases of Workers").
