Giacomo Merculiano (Naples, September 29, 1859 - November 1935) was an Italian sculptor, medallist, and illustrator.

He studied at the Institute of Fine Arts in Naples, where he first gained recognition for a stucco statue titled Aspiration, exhibited at the Promotrice of Naples. In 1889 at the same Exhibition, he displayed a bronze statuette titled Canto fermo. He completed the bronze bust for the funereal monument of Count Giulio di Conversano in Camposanto di Naples. [1]

While Merculiano also dabbled in painting, sculpture was his main output. By 1900, he was living in Paris, France, and would sign his works Jacques Merculiano or J. Merculiano. [2] He focused mainly on depictions of animals. He exhibited from 1914 on in the Salon in Paris. [3]
