Antonio Gabaglio (June 30, 1840 – November 14, 1909) was an Italian statistician from Pavia. He studied law at the University of Pavia, graduating in 1862. In January 1878, he became a lecturer in statistics at the University of Pavia. Gabaglio wanted statistics to be treated as a scientific discipline and to use mathematics to support statistical work. His first major work, La storia e teoria della statistica, was published in 1880 in Milan and emphasized methodological thinking. In February 1880, the Ministry of Education recognized his work by awarding him Cavaliere dell'Ordine dei Ss. Maurizio e Lazzaro. In 1888 he published Teoria generale della statistica. Later, he left the University of Pavia’s statistics chair and returned to teaching at the Technical Institute. He died in Pavia in 1909.
