Carlo Abate (20 October 1859 – Barre, 1 August 1941) was an Italian sculptor and anarchist.

Life and career
He graduated from the Brera Academy under the supervision of Raffaele Casnedi, Ambrogio Borghi and M. Giuliano, and in 1888 became its honorary member. He is known for his anarchist ideas, and following the style of Lombard verismo, created various sculptures of a humanitarian nature. In 1889 he produced Femmina, which was singled out for the Premio Umberto, and in 1894 showcased the plaster group Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie at the Second Triennial Exhibition of Fine Arts in Milan, in which he won the Antonio Tantardini Prize. In 1890 he produced a plaster model to participate in a contest held by the city of Pavia to erect a monument to the Cairoli family. Although the contest was won by Enrico Cassi, Abate's work received a special mention by the jury. In 1891 he made the Lapide con medaglione di Benedetto Cairoli ("Tombstone with medallion of Benedetto Cairoli"), displayed in Piazza Garibaldi in Monza.
