Davide Garbolino (born September 24th, 1968 in Cirié, Turin) is an Italian dubbing voice actor.
Because of his naturally high-pitched voice, he is often cast as talking animals or young boys, most notably Ash Ketchum in Pokémon: The Series. He has also become the official Italian voice of Bugs Bunny since 2011, replacing Massimo Giuliani.
He is based in Milan, but has also done some voice-over work in Rome and Turin.

His works provide examples of:
- Child-Like Voice: Uses this as a voice acting technique, especially when voicing Ash and Nobita, two of his youngest characters and also his longest lasting roles (he has been voicing Ash since 2000 and Nobita since 2003). He does it well, and he's quite believable at doing the Kid Hero's voice.
