Filippo Tortu (born 15 June 1998) is an Italian sprinter, national record holder of 100 meters with the time of 9.99 and the first ever Italian to dip below 10 seconds for the distance. He won the gold medal in 100 metres at the 2017 European U20 Championships and the silver medal at the 2016 World U20 Championships. He is coached by his father, Salvino Tortu, a former Sardinian sprinter who emigrated to Lombardy. His older brother, Giacomo, is also a sprinter.

Born in Milan but with Sardinian origins (his father, Salvino Tortu, was a Sardinian runner too), he began to play sports at the age of eight years, dividing his time between track and field and basketball.

In 2010 and 2011 he won the title of fastest runner in Milan while competing in the categories prima media and seconda media. He then started to dedicate himself entirely to track and field, coached by his father. In 2013 he won the 80 meters in the Italian championships in Jesolo (category cadetto) with a time of 9.09.
