Chazz Palminteri (born May 15, 1952) is an Oscar-nominated American actor and writer.

Palminteri, a Sicilian/Italian American was born Calogero Lorenzo Palminteri in the Bronx, New York. He has appeared in several popular feature films, including A Bronx Tale, Analyze This and The Usual Suspects. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1994 for Bullets Over Broadway.

As a playwright, Palminteri authored A Bronx Tale and Faithful, and as a screenwriter, he adapted both of these stage productions into motion pictures. A Bronx Tale, which Palminteri has claimed to be semi-autobiographical, is particularly relevant to his career. Because he had spent the majority of his acting career in small character roles, he sold the play's film rights to Robert De Niro, with the condition that Palminteri himself be allowed to play the role of Machiavellian mafia boss Sonny LoSpecchio. This was his first notable major role in cinema.

Palminteri starred in a made for TV movie Boss of Bosses (2001), in which he played the role of real life mobster Paul Castellano.

He made his directorial debut with the 2002 television film Women vs. Men. He also directed the 2004 film Noel.

Palminteri is also well known to playing a mob boss in several commercials for Vanilla Coke in 2002, opposite celebrities such as Simon Cowell and Missy Elliott. In contrast to several roles as Mafia boss, he portrayed anti-Mafia prosecutor Giovanni Falcone in the 1999 movie Excellent Cadavers.

He lives in Bedford, New York.
