Desiderio Quercetani (b. 7 November 1961) is a luthier specializing in the construction of baroque violins in Parma, Italy. He studied with Parma luthier Renato Scrollavezza. He has run his own workshop since 1987, and recently opened a school, Bottega di Parma, for the making of stringed instruments.

He often bases his designs on those of the Cremonese masters, such as Stradivari.

Quercetani is listed in the Strings Buyer's Guide, and his instruments sell for between $5,000 and $19,999. Also, he has made most of the instruments for the Italian baroque ensemble Europa Galante.
