Gianfrancesco I Gonzaga (1395 – 23 September 1444) was Captain of the People from 1407 to 1433 and Marquis of Mantua from 1433 to 1444. He was also a condottiere.
Gianfrancesco was the son of Francesco I Gonzaga and Margherita Malatesta. He inherited the rule of Mantua in 1407, when he was 12. In his first years, he was under the patronage of his uncle Carlo Malatesta and, indirectly, of the Republic of Venice. In 1409 he married Paola Malatesta, daughter of Malatesta IV Malatesta of Pesaro, by whom he had two sons, Ludovico, who succeeded him as marquis of Mantua, and Carlo. He was the first Gonzaga to bear the title of marquis, which he obtained from Emperor Sigismund on 22 September 1433.
He fought for the Papal States and the Malatestas in 1412 and 1417, respectively, and was capitano generale (commander-in-chief) of the Venetian Armies from 1434. Later he left the alliance with Venice and entered at the service of the Visconti of Milan, starting an unsuccessful war against Venice which caused the loss of several Mantuan territories.
