Carlo D'Angiò (born 1946, Naples, Italy - died 5 September 2016, Naples, Italy) was an Italian musician and composer. He began his career playing with other musicians in the middle of the 1960's.

This group consisted of various musicians, including: percussionist Tony Esposito and Alfio Antico, vocalist [a664145], saxophonist Bob Fix, violinist David Blazer and Pippo Cerciello, bass player [a828195], and brass musician Enzo Avitabile.
