Valeriano Pompeo Maurizio "Valerio" Arri (22 June 1892 – 2 July 1970) was an Italian marathon runner. He won a bronze medal at the 1920 Olympics in his all-time personal best time of 2:36:33.
Arri started competing in early 1910s, but had his first major successes in 1919, when he won the Turin Marathon in a time of 2:40:47.6 and the national title over 48 km, in a time of 3:13:41. His career declined after the 1920 Olympics – he placed fourth in 1921 and third in 1923 at the Turin Marathon. Since 1996, the “Premio Valerio Arri” has been awarded to honor the winner of that race.
