Francesco Brioschi (22 December 1824 – 13 December 1897) was an Italian mathematician.
Brioschi was born in Milan in 1824. He graduated from the Collegio Borromeo in 1847.
From 1850 he taught analytical mechanics at the University of Pavia. After the Italian unification in 1861, he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies and then appointed twice secretary of the Italian Education Ministry. In 1863 he founded the Polytechnic University of Milan, where he worked until his death, lecturing in hydraulics, analytical mechanics and construction engineering. In 1865 he entered the Senate of the Kingdom. In 1870 he became a member of the Accademia dei lincei and in 1884 he succeeded Quintino Sella as president of the National Academy of the Lincei. He directed the Il Politecnico (The Polytechnic) review and, between 1867 and 1877, the Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata (Annals of pure and applied mathematics). He died in Milan in 1897.
