Sante Geronimo Caserio (September 8, 1873 - August 16, 1894) was an Italian anarchist and the assassin of Marie François Sadi Carnot, President of the French Third Republic.

Caserio was born in Motta Visconti, Lombardy. On June 24, 1894, Caserio fatally stabbed President Carnot after a banquet to avenge Auguste Vaillant and Emile Henry. At his trial, Caserio described the assassination in detail: Template:bquote Caserio was executed by guillotine in Lyon at 5am, August 16, 1894. In front of the guillotine, he exclaimed "Coraggio compagni—evviva l' anarchia!" ("Courage, comrades—long live anarchy!")
