Agostino Todaro (14 January 1818 – 18 April 1892) was an Italian botanist.
He was born and died in Palermo, Italy. He was a professor of botany and became the director of the botanical gardens in Palermo. Starting with 1864 he edited the exsiccata Flora Sicula exsiccata. Todaro published the Hortus Botanicus Panormitanus in 1876–1878.
In 1843, botanist Filippo Parlatore published Todaroa, which is a genus of flowering plants from the Canary Islands, belonging to the family Apiaceae. It just contains one known species, Todaroa aurea (Aiton) Parl., and it is named after Agostino Todaro.
The standard botanical author abbreviation Tod. is applied to species he described.
