Cesare Emiliani (Bologna, 8 de diciembre de 1922 – Palm Beach Gardens, 20 de julio de 1995) fue un geólogo, micropaleontólogo e isotopista geoquímico italiano, fundador de la paleo-oceanografía.

Emiliani nació en Bolonia y sus padres fueron Luigi y Maria (Manfredidi) Emiliani.

Junto con Roger Revelle y muchos otros desarrolló activamente el programa JOIDES que se basó en el proyecto original LOCO (LOng COres).

Fue un científico pro-renacentista – políglota y hombre muy leído – y adversario militante de posturas dogmáticas al igual que de toda rigidez mental. Era por este motivo que en sus últimos años consagró mucho tiempo en despertar interés y propuso el Calendario holoceno, una reforma del calendario con origen en la época holocena. Su ambición fue eliminar el hiato entre la escala a. C. y la escala d. C.. Éste es igual a 1 año porque cada escala tiene origen 1 como consecuencia de la definición del Calendario Gregoriano.
