Enzo is a masculine given name of Italian origin. It is commonly used as an independent first name in Italy and among Italian communities, and it also appears as a short form or nickname for longer names such as Enrico, Vincenzo, or Enzio. The name has historical associations in medieval Italy, including Enzio (Enzo), a form used by nobles and by the son of Emperor Frederick II, which contributed to its enduring presence in Italian culture.

Notable people named Enzo include Enzo Ferrari (1898–1988), founder of the Ferrari automobile marque; Enzo Bearzot (1927–2010), Italian football manager who led the national team to the 1982 World Cup victory; Enzo Francescoli (born 1961), Uruguayan footballer; Enzo Biagi (1920–2007), journalist; Enzo Mari (1932–2020), designer and artist; Enzo Cucchi (born 1949), Italian painter; and Enzo Zidane (born 1995), French footballer and son of Zinedine Zidane.

In addition to its use as a given name, Enzo is associated with the Ferrari Enzo, a limited-production supercar released in the early 2000s and named after Enzo Ferrari, the founder of Ferrari. The name may also appear in contemporary fiction and media as a character name.
