Luigi Branciforte (died 1665) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Melfi e Rapolla (1648–1665).[1]
Luigi Branciforte was born in Palermo, Italy.[2] He was the son of Ercole Branciforte, 1st Duke of San Giovanni and, his second wife, Agata Lanza. Among his siblings were brothers Antonio Branciforte, 1st Prince of Scordia, and Ottavio Branciforte, who was Bishop of Cefalù and Catania. From his mother's previous marriage, his elder half-brother was Niccolò Branciforte, 1st Prince of Leonforte.[3]
