Angelo Quaglio the younger (13 December 1829, Munich - 5 January 1890, Munich) was a German stage designer of Italian descent. He worked mainly in Munich, and assisted Richard Wagner in the premieres of a number of his works.

He designed and painted landscapes and architectural pictures for Sulpiz Boisserée's work on Cologne Cathedral.
