Cristian Bugatti, also known as Bugo (born 2 August 1973 in Rho (MI), Italy) is an Italian singer-songwriter, artist and actor. He spent his youth in the rice fields of Cerano, in the Province of Novara in the Piedmont region. A self-taught artist, Bugo did not attend art or music school.

He is considered a pioneer of the Italian singer-songwriter scene, and the neologism ''fantautore'' has been coined to describe him.
