Fabio Massimo Castaldo MEP is an Italian politician who has served in the European Parliament since 2014.

On 15 November 2017 he was elected vice-president of the European Parliament to replace Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, becoming the youngest vice president in the history of the institution.[1][citation needed]

He was re-elected MEP in the 2019 EP election.[2]

On 3 July 2019 he was re-elected Vice-President of the European Parliament, running as an independent with the support of over 40 MEPs belonging to various political groups, as the European delegation of the Five Star Movement belonged to the technical grouping of the Non-Inscrits.[citation needed] His election represents the second success of an independent following the 2009 election of Edward McMillan-Scott.[3]
