Ruggero Maregatti (July 14, 1905 October 20, 1963) was an Italian athlete who competed mainly in the 100 metres. He competed for Italy in the 1932 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, California, in the 4 x 100 metre relay where he won the bronze medal with his team mates Giuseppe Castelli, Gabriele Salviati and Edgardo Toetti. At the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, 29 athletics events were contested, 23 for men and 6 for women. It was the first time the 50 km walk appeared in the men''s athletics at the Games. This was only the second time women''s events in athletics were included in the Olympic Games program and was the first time that the javelin throw became a women''s Olympic event. There was a total of 386 participants from 34 countries competing. Paavo Nurmi from Finland was suspended one week before the Games by the IAAF for accepting payments in excess of his expenses for an exhibition tour (ie for "professionalism").
